Back to passage

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

Don't envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

Don't be envious of evil men; neither desire to be with them:

My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:

Don't allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don't protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
