Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless— like chasing the wind.

“ My servants have never said,‘ He let others go hungry.’

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.

and boasted to them about his great wealth and his many children. He bragged about the honors the king had given him and how he had been promoted over all the other nobles and officials.

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.

This is what the Lord says:“ Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches.

I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords.

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows.They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly.

And when he changed his mind and said,‘ The striped animals will be your wages,’ then the whole flock produced striped young.In this way, God has taken your father’s animals and given them to me.

Everyone who makes up proverbs will say of you,‘ Like mother, like daughter.’

By the power of your hand, O Lord, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.

“ Have I put my trust in money or felt secure because of my gold?Have I gloated about my wealth and all that I own?
