'Envy' in the Bible

By David. Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed! Do not envy evildoers!

Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks, at the mountain where God has decided to live? Indeed the Lord will live there permanently!

Do not envy a violent man, and do not choose to imitate any of his ways;

A tranquil spirit revives the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but rather be zealous in fearing the Lord all the time.

Do not envy evil people, do not desire to be with them;

therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, I will deal with you according to your anger, and according to your envy, by which you acted spitefully against them. I will reveal myself to them when I judge you.
