SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:31
No envidies al hombre injusto, ni escojas alguno de sus caminos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 3:31
Verse 31. Envy thou not the oppressor ] O how bewitching is power! Every man desires it; and yet all hate tyrants. But query, if all had power, would not the major part be tyrants?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. Envy thou not the oppressor , etc.] The man that gets wealth and riches by acts of injustice, by oppressing the poor, by rapine and violence; do not envy his prosperity, and the substance he is possessed of; do not wish to be in his place and circumstances, to enjoy his affluence and ease; do not look upon his happiness with an envious eye and a fretting heart; he is far from being a happy man; his end will be bad; (see Psalm 37:1,7); and choose none of his ways ; which he has used to get his riches in; do not follow him in them; for should you do as he has done, and get ever so much, since this would be with the loss of your souls, of what advantage would it be? He makes the best choice that chooses the “good part” that shall not be taken away, ( Luke 10:42); Christ, and the ways of Christ.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-35 - Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearin evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperou oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways. These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious but everlasting contempt will be the portion of such scorners, whil Divine favour is shown to the humble believer __________________________________________________________________
