Actually, 嫉妒 is stronger than 羡慕，it implies kind of distorted inner feeling. For example, Snow White's step mother 嫉妒 her daughter's beauty and did something evil to her later. Another example, your friend won a lottery, you congratulated him and 羡慕 him. In this case, it means you wish you were lucky enough to win a lottery just like him!
