Proverbs 23:17

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.

• Jealousy
• Righteousness
• Wisdom
• Caution
• Peace

The temptation to envy sinners is a common struggle, but this verse serves as a reminder to resist it. It highlights the importance of guarding the heart against jealousy and focusing on righteousness instead. Envy can cloud judgment and lead us down paths of sin, while peace and wisdom are found in choosing a life of integrity and purity. This verse encourages believers to stay focused on their own spiritual journey, seeking God’s will rather than comparing their lives to the apparent successes of others. Wisdom helps to see beyond surface appearances, understanding that those who pursue righteousness have an eternal reward that far exceeds anything the world offers. It is through the wisdom of God that we can choose peace and avoid the destructive nature of envy.
