“Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked: ”
“Don't fret yourself because of evildoers; neither be envious of the wicked:”
“Do not fret because of evil people or be envious of wicked people,”
“Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly.”

For the just one will fall seven times, and he shall rise again. But the impious will fall into evil.
When your enemy will fall, do not be glad, and do not let your heart exult in his ruin,
lest perhaps the Lord see, and it displease him, and he may take away his wrath from him.
Do not contend with the most wicked, and do not be a rival to the impious.
For the evil hold no hope in the future, and the lamp of the impious will be extinguished.
My son, fear the Lord, as well as the king. And do not mingle with detractors.
For their perdition shall rise up suddenly. And who knows what ruin will be for each of them?
