Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
