Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:19

Anxiety about the apparent success of the wicked is a natural but spiritually dangerous response. Solomon commands: stop fretting. Do not let the wicked rent space in your mind through worry or envy.

Memory phrase: Do not envy the wicked.

Talk about it: Why should we not worry about evil people who seem to be doing well?

Prayer: God, help me keep my eyes on You and not on what wrong people seem to have.
