Don’t envy evil people, and don’t be jealous of the wicked.
Don’t envy evil people or try to be friends with them.
Don’t envy sinners, but always respect the Lord.
Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer.
Get away from me, you who do evil, so I can keep my God’s commands.
Don’t be upset because of evil people. Don’t be jealous of those who do wrong,
because I was jealous of proud people. I saw wicked people doing well.
Happy are those who don’t listen to the wicked, who don’t go where sinners go, who don’t do what evil people do.
Have nothing to do with the things done in darkness, which are not worth anything. But show that they are wrong.
Moses warned the people, “Move away from the tents of these evil men! Don’t touch anything of theirs, or you will be destroyed because of their sins.”
Then I heard another voice from heaven saying: “Come out of that city, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive the disasters that will come to her.
“Leave those people, and be separate, says the Lord. Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will accept you.”
The Lord will notice and be displeased. He may not be angry with them anymore.
