GAḎ 7

1 If anyone prospers more than you, do not be aggrieved, but pray for him that he may prosper completely, for this is what is precisely to your advantage.

2 And if he becomes even more exalted, do not be envious, but remember that all humanity dies. Offer praise to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who provides good and beneficial things for all mankind.

3 Search out 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s judgments, and in this way you shall gain an inheritance and your mind will be at rest.

4 Even if someone becomes rich by evil schemes, as did Ĕsaw, your father’s brother, do not be jealous; wait for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to set the limits.

5 For if he takes away the things obtained by evil means, those who repent receive forgiveness, and the impenitent one receives eternal punishment.

6 The man who is poor but free from envy, who is grateful to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 for everything, is richer than all, because he does not love the foolish things that are a temptation common to mankind.

7 Drive hatred away from your souls, and love one another in uprightness of heart.
