Psalm 37:14

"The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright..."

More examples showing why we should not envy such people. Jesus said we would always have the poor with us; this is in part because there will always be evil people trying to make themselves more rich by exploiting the needy. Not only this, but they also are trying to destroy those who walk in truth...probably because they prefer their own deeds to stay in darkness. Fortunately, God has something else planned in the long run.

Peace.
