¹⁷ Let not thy heart envy sinners; But `be thou' in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:

¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

¹ Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:

³¹ Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.

¹⁷ And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

³¹ So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.

¹³ `This is' the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole `duty' of man.

¹⁴ For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

⁷ For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.

¹⁶ Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

¹⁰ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do `his commandments': His praise endureth for ever.

¹ Praise ye Jehovah. Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, That delighteth greatly in his commandments.

³ For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴ For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.

⁵ They are not in trouble as `other' men; Neither are they plagued like `other' men.

⁶ Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.

¹ Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.

² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

³ Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on `his' faithfulness.
