Proverbs 24:1

New International Version

Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty,

Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.

Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,

Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.

Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.
