Psalms 73:3

Envy and jealousyMoney and wealthPride

1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.

For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.

5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
