**101:1** If a man prospereth more than you, be not grieved, but pray also for him, that he may have perfect prosperity.

**101:2** For perchance it is expedient for you thus; and if he be further exalted, be not envious, remembering that all flesh shall die: and offer praise to God, who giveth things good and profitable to all men.

**101:3** Seek out the judgments of the Lord, and so shall thy mind rest and be at peace.

**101:4** And though a man become rich by evil means, even as Esau the brother of my father, be not jealous; but wait for the end of the Lord.

**101:5** For either He taketh His benefits away from the wicked, or leaveth them still to the repentant, or to the unrepentant reserveth punishment for ever.

**101:6** For the poor man who is free from envy, giving thanks to the Lord in all things, is rich among all men, because he hath not evil jealousy of men.

**101:7** Put away, therefore, hatred from your souls, and love one another with uprightness of heart.
