Envy Personally Hurtful
Acts 7:9-15
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,…


The adder and the toad have deadly poison in them, which hurt others, but not themselves; but envy is so deadly, that it killeth him that hath it, and others also. The envious man frets and pines away when others do well. He cannot eat or sleep quietly, unless some mischief falls on the person he envies.

(Cawdray.)
