And why? I was grieved at the wicked, to see the ungodly in such prosperity.

"Wherefore do wicked men live in health and prosperity, come to their old age, and increase in riches?

{A Psalm of David} Fret not thyself because of the ungodly; neither be thou envious against the evil doers.

O LORD, thou art more righteous than that I should dispute with thee: Nevertheless, let me talk with thee in things reasonable. How happeneth it, that the way of the ungodly is so prosperous? And that it goeth so well with them, which without any shame offend and live in wickedness?

Hold thee still in the LORD, and abide patiently upon him: but grieve not thyself at one that hath prosperity, and liveth in abomination.

Let not thine heart be jealous to follow sinners; but keep thee still in the fear of the LORD all the day long:

Follow not a wicked man, and choose none of his ways:

Be not thou jealous over wicked men, and desire not thou to be among them.

Either do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, "The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy,"
