PRAYER POINTS AGAINST ENVY AND JEALOUSY Job 5:2: “Surely resentment destroys the fool, and jealousy kills the simple.” Exodus 20:17: “Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” NOTE: Kindly Read My Dream Interpretation Book And Other Inspiring Books… Jealousy and envy is as old as humans, but this doesn’t mean they are good things. They are part of our fallen nature.
