“Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.”
Proverbs 24:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 24:1
Don't be 'envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.' Envy (Hebrew 'qana') of the wicked is foolish—they may prosper temporarily, but judgment awaits. Desiring their company compounds the error by embracing their values and practices. Reformed theology warns against envying worldly success gained through wickedness. Psalm 73 expresses this temptation and its resolution—the wicked's prosperity is temporary, their end destruction. We must not desire what they have or who they are.
