Emotions
Envy
Feeling discomfort because another person has something we desire.
What the Bible can tell you
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
James 3:16
Let's not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
Galatians 5:26
The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones.
Proverbs 14:30
A human reading
Envy often hides a lack that hurts. Instead of comparing yourself, ask what you truly want and what you can do. Being glad for others' good also frees the heart.
