Do not fret because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; so you will dwell in the land.
God has promised the wicked, even those who seem to be living a life of wealth and pleasure, will receive their recompense. Their suffering will be far greater than any worldly suffering we may be seeing in our own lives. Do not be envious.
