The LORD made his people very fruitful; he made them more numerous than their foes,whose hearts he turned to hate his people and to deal deceptively with his servants.

But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and deny the truth.Such wisdom does not come down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.

A large population is a king’s splendor, but a shortage of people is a ruler’s devastation.

So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian,“ This horde will devour everything around us like an ox eats up the green plants in the field.” Since Balak son of Zippor was Moab’s king at that time,he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which is by the Euphrates in the land of his people. Balak said to him,“ Look, a people has come out of Egypt; they cover the surface of the land and are living right across from me.

I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to one person’s jealousy of another. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Fury is cruel, and anger a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?

Or do you think it’s without reason that the Scripture says: The spirit he made to dwell in us envies intensely?

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.

For anger kills a fool, and jealousy slays the gullible.
