Do you ever find yourself envying how others live?
Maybe they go to a lot of parties, and it looks like they are having a lot of fun. Maybe they get whatever they want because they steal, or because the only thing they care about is money. Maybe he has a lot of friends because he tells dirty jokes. Maybe she gets lots of dates because she dresses immodestly.
Verse 17 says, "Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all day."
This is a warning that we should not envy the lives of sinners, but instead fear and respect God. We live our lives knowing that Jesus has given us life and given it more abundantly, so we do not need to be envious of the lifestyles of others.
