Envy » Forbidden
By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,
The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up,
as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation;
let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!
A healed heart is life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones is envy.
Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
Be not envious of evil men, And desire not to be with them.
and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;
Envy » Who not to envy
By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity, For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the greenness of the tender grass do fade.
Be not envious of evil men, And desire not to be with them. For destruction doth their heart meditate, And perverseness do their lips speak.
Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
