“Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways.” (Proverbs 3:31)
The violent man is close to no one. He seems powerful and it may appear that he has anything he desires because he takes what he wants – but bullies are always alone.
Look closer – the heart of the upright is close to God. Don’t envy the man of destruction; his life is an internal train wreck.
