The verse teaches that an embittered heart turns even a good deed to poison: it hates being indebted, hates depending on the mercy of the one who has surpassed it. And here lies the depth of the affliction: the envious man finds no peace either in enmity or in the kindness shown to him; everything feeds his torment. For one whose heart is unhealed, even bread from another's hand is bitterer than stone.
