Gill's Notes on the Bible
Be not thou envious against evil men,.... Or, "men of evil" b. Such who are addicted to evil, and given up to it, whose principles and practices are bad; such as are before described in the preceding chapter; gluttons and drunkards, men given to women and wine: envy not their present prosperity, or seeming pleasure they have in the gratification of their sensual appetites; since woe and sorrow, wounds and strife, now attend them, and poverty and want will follow them; as well as everlasting ruin and destruction will be their portion hereafter; :-; and compare with this
Proverbs 24:21;
neither desire to be with them; to be in their company; to have any conversation and fellowship with them, which is very infectious, dangerous, and pernicious; nor even to be in the same state, condition, and circumstances they are in; much less to do as they do, and imitate them in their sinful courses; as you would not choose to be with them in hell hereafter, do not desire to be with them here.
b ××× ×©× ×¨×¢× "viros mali", Baynus, Michaelis.

A lesson given before, now combined with another. True followers after wisdom will admit neither envy of evil on the one hand, nor admiration or fellowship with it on the other.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXIV
Do not be envious. Of the house wisely built. Counsel necessary
in war. Save life when thou canst. Of honey and the honey-comb.
Of the just that falleth seven times. We should not rejoice at
the misfortune of others. Ruin of the wicked. Fear God and the
king. Prepare thy work. The field of the sluggard, and the
vineyard of the foolish, described.
