Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;

Do not want what evil people have. Don’t long to be with them.

Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them,

Don’t envy evil people or desire their company.

Don’t envy the evil or desire to be with them,

Do not be envious of evil people, Nor desire to be with them;

Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;

Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:

Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Do not envy evil people, do not desire to be with them;

Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;

Don’t let your heart envy sinners; instead, always fear the Lord.

Don’t envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;

Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil plans.

Do not be agitated by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance— as I told you before— that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Or do you think it’s without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously?But He gives greater grace. Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

For I envied the arrogant; I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Don’t be agitated by evildoers, and don’t envy the wicked.

The two angels entered Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting at Sodom’s gate. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them. He bowed with his face to the groundand said,“ My lords, turn aside to your servant’s house, wash your feet, and spend the night. Then you can get up early and go on your way.”“ No,” they said.“ We would rather spend the night in the square.”But he urged them so strongly that they followed him and went into his house. He prepared a feast and baked unleavened bread for them, and they ate.Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population, surrounded the house.They called out to Lot and said,“ Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have sex with them!”Lot went out to them at the entrance and shut the door behind him.He said,“ Don’t do this evil, my brothers.Look, I’ve got two daughters who haven’t had sexual relations with a man. I’ll bring them out to you, and you can do whatever you want to them. However, don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof.”“ Get out of the way!” they said, adding,“ This one came here as a foreigner, but he’s acting like a judge! Now we’ll do more harm to you than to them.” They put pressure on Lot and came up to break down the door.But the angels reached out, brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.They struck the men who were at the entrance of the house, both young and old, with a blinding light so that they were unable to find the entrance.

Lot looked out and saw that the entire Jordan Valley as far as Zoar was well watered everywhere like the Lord’s garden and the land of Egypt. This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.So Lot chose the entire Jordan Valley for himself. Then Lot journeyed eastward, and they separated from each other.Abram lived in the land of Canaan, but Lot lived in the cities of the valley and set up his tent near Sodom.Now the men of Sodom were evil, sinning greatly against the Lord.

The one who walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.

Do not destroy me along with sinners, or my life along with men of bloodshed

If they say—“ Come with us! Let’s set an ambush and kill someone. Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, still healthy as they go down to the Pit.We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder.Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share our money”—my son, don’t travel that road with them or set foot on their path,
