and jealousy kills the simple.

“Call now; is there any who will answer you?
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2
Selected verse
For resentment kills the foolish man,
and jealousy kills the simple.
3
I have seen the foolish taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4
His children are far from safety.
They are crushed in the gate.
Neither is there any to deliver them,
5
whose harvest the hungry eat up,
and take it even out of the thorns.
The snare gapes for their substance.
