Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 3:31

31. Envy thou not the oppressor , and choose none of his ways .

For his impunity and success in his wicked designs, and the Wealth which he gains by his unrighteous practices.

For what men envy in others they seek to obtain for themselves.

Marginal references: Ps. 37. 1.; Heb. a man of violence.
