What does the Bible say about jealousy?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that jealousy is cruel and stems from a proud and insecure heart, with no scriptural basis for jealousy among believers.

In the Song of Solomon, jealousy is described as strong and cruel, akin to death (Song of Solomon 8:6). It is a reflection of a proud and insecure heart that lacks faith in God’s provision. For believers, there is no justification for feeling jealousy towards others, as faith recognizes that God has bestowed upon each individual all that they have according to His good pleasure. Jealousy leads to negative attributes like greed and division, demonstrating that the individual lacks humility and spiritual health.
Scripture References: Song of Solomon 8:6, 1 Samuel 18:5-16
