A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. For the forward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Proverbs 14:30, Job 5:2, Proverbs 3:31,32, Proverbs 23:17, Proverbs 27:4, Proverbs 24:1, Psalms 37:1-3
