12 Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
(Read Proverbs 12:12)
When the ungodly see others prosper by sin, they wish they could act in the same way. But the root of Divine grace, in the heart of the righteous, produces other desires and purposes.
