⁴ Fury `is' fierce, and anger `is' overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy?

³⁴ For jealousy `is' the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.

¹⁴ and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;

¹⁵ this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁶ for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;

⁹ and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,

³⁰ A healed heart `is' life to the flesh, And rottenness to the bones `is' envy.

² For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple,

¹² not as Cain -- of the evil one he was, and he did slay his brother, and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were evil, and those of his brother righteous.

⁵ Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,'

⁶ and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

²⁹ having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

⁵ And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring `them' to the populace,

¹⁷ And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him -- being the sect of the Sadducees -- were filled with zeal,

¹⁸ for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

⁶ Set me as a seal on thy heart, as a seal on thine arm, For strong as death is love, Sharp as Sheol is jealousy, Its burnings `are' burnings of fire, a flame of Jah!

¹¹ and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father hath watched the matter.

¹⁴ and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,

¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;

²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
