Full disclosure: Verses like this frustrate me! My answer? Compare it with a more recent translation. And so, I see that, "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones."
Well then, this is Proverbs which was written to teach wisdom. So I, as a wise-person-in-training, should try to maintain a calm and undisturbed mind, and avoid envy because these are good for my health.
Today, I will pray for calmness of mind even in chaos, and for satisfaction with what has been given to me.
