¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

⁷Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

¹⁶Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

³For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

¹⁷Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

¹⁸Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

¹⁹How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

¹⁰The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

³¹Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

³⁰A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

¹⁷Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

¹Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

¹⁹Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

⁴Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

⁴Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

⁶Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

¹¹LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.

¹¹Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

²⁹Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

¹³Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

³For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

⁴Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

²⁰For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

²⁰Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

²¹Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁶Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

⁴He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

⁵Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

³For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

¹⁴But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁶For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
