Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 23:17

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

Let not the consideration of their present impunity and prosperity stir thee up, either to envy them, or to approve and imitate their evil courses.

Reverence the presence of the Divine Majesty, and dread his power and justice, and those judgments which he hath prepared for sinners, and thou wil[illegible: 1+ letters]t see no cause to envy, but rather to [illegible: 1 word] them.

Not only when thou art in trouble, but in all times and conditions.
