Do not envy evil people, or desire to be with them,
Happy is the one who has not walked in the advice of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of scoffers.
Do not take my soul away with sinners, nor my life with people of bloodshed—
Of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of them who do wrong.
Be still before Adonai and wait patiently for Him. Do not fret over one prospering in his way, over one carrying out wicked schemes.
For I envied the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
He who walks with wise men is wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be in the fear of Adonai.
Do not be upset because of evil people, or be envious of the wicked,
Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways.
Do not enter the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil people.
Avoid it—do not travel on it— turn away from it and pass by.
