Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong.
The virtuous are horrified when they see me. The innocent rise up against the ungodly.
Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.
Don’t envy sinners, but always continue to fear the Lord.
Don’t envy evil people or desire their company.
Don’t fret because of evildoers; don’t envy the wicked.
Don’t envy violent people or copy their ways.
The wicked will not prosper, for they do not fear God. Their days will never grow long like the evening shadows.
envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
