Proverbs 3:31 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 3:31
Do not envy the oppressor or choose any of his ways. Envy of the wicked arises when their prosperity and apparent success tempts admiration. Yet choosing their ways means adopting their values and methods, which lead to destruction. Psalm 73 addresses this temptation - envying the wicked until understanding their end. The command assumes tendency toward envy requiring active resistance through right theology.
