Book of Proverbs

Envy (jealousy) is more destructive than wrath (deep-seated anger) and anger (raging temper). Envy caused Cain to kill Abel (Gen. 4). Jealousy caused Joseph’s brothers to sell him as a slave (Gen. 37). Envy (jealousy) is often the reason for crimes of passion (see Prov. 6:32-35). ................
