"For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."
73.3-4
Jesus declared "I am the way" The writer to the Hebrews speak of Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith. For which we are to earnestly contend instead of looking at such poor specimens that pass for heads of a state. He has his plate full and yet if he were to quibble over trifles, does it not tell you how your envy was out of place? You are foolish as well.
You are called and you are blessed under the everlasting Covenant. It pleased God to entrust you with faith unto salvation and he is the only wise God our Saviour who is able to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. (Jude v.24)
vv.13-15
"Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency./For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning./If I say, I will speak thus;"
"behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children..."
Our envy at the apparent good fortune of the ungodly is an offense against our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ. The tag 'Behold' provides the context. Jesus Christ is the word become flesh. He is the same yesterday, today and forever'. The Law sees the wicked flourish as a bay tree and also how its end shall be. "I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree./Yet he passed away, and, lo, hewasnot: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found."(Ps.37.35-36)
vv.17-19
"Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end./Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction./How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors."
"For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."
