Judaism
"A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones."
"But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell."
Christianity
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,"
Islam
"And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
