1. The envious one is sufficiently punished by his envy,
In his limbs there is no glow of envy,

2. Do not be surprised if his body melts away out of envy,
For this disease enfeebles the health of the body,

3. If he were not judged by the Creator, I would say
He is sufficiently punished since he lived and died consumed,

4. All sins may be hoped to give pleasure,
Alas, but this is the disease of the liver,

5. What will the ignorant, blindly envious person do to
The envied one if he prevails one day and he has not blocked his way,

6. All vices either their doer dies
And they entirely perish, and none remain with anyone,

7. But the detestable envy accompanies
Its companion into the fire for eternity.
