Do Not Envy the Wicked

“Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.”
–Proverbs 24:1

One of the most frequent of warnings in God’s Word has to do with NOT envying the wicked or evil man.

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.”
–Psalm 37:1

“Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.”
–Proverbs 3:31

“Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.”
–Proverbs 23:17

Yes, the righteous are warned NOT to be envious of the prosperity of the wicked.

Yet, the wicked often point to their prosperity as a sort of “proof” that they are clever, smart and walking the right path.

However, MANY TIMES the world often does NOT see the woes and afflictions of the wicked. The wicked have a stake in keeping their torments out of sight AND the world has its own reasons for making the lives of evil men appear as if they are filled with gladness and joy.

What does God’s Word say about the ultimate destiny of the wicked?

“When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever”
–Psalm 92:7

“Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
–Job 20:4-5

“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.”
–Psalm 37:1-2

“Nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen“ might be the motto of the wicked–despite their public appearance of prosperity, ease and comfort.

SO: do not envy the prosperity of the wicked.

Those fleeting moments of worldly prosperity are likely the only things the wicked will have to show for an eternity of sorrow and torment.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
