Tirukkural-On Virtue-Freedom From Envy-Kural 169

By Staff

Thirukkural In English, Kural 169
Avviya nenjathaan aakkamunj cevviyaan
Kaedum ninaikkap padum

If an envious man accumulates wealth, and a virtuous man Comes by misfortune, both these need scrutiny

The implication is that an envious man cannot get the good things of the world and evil cannot befall a righteous man. If such a thing does happen it is a case for thorough investigation.

For the normal thing according to the Bible is that.

'He who is steadfast in righteousness will live,
but he who pursueth evil will die'

(Proverbs 11:199)
