241 Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company;
241 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
241 Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them,
241 Don't envy bad people; don't even want to be around them.
241 Do not be envious of evil men, Nor desire to be with them;
241 Don't envy evil people or desire their company.
2 for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.
2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
2 for their hearts devise violence, and their lips talk of trouble.
2 All they think about is causing a disturbance; all they talk about is making trouble.
2 For their heart devises violence, And their lips talk of troublemaking.
2 For their hearts plot violence, and their words always stir up trouble.
