Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways;
Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;
He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked;
Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil.
Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on.
