Proverbs 24:14-21

¹⁴so consider wisdom for thy soul; if thou hast found it, there shall be a result, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

¹⁵Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; lay not waste his resting-place.

¹⁶For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.

¹⁷Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth;

¹⁸lest Jehovah see it, and it be evil in his sight, and he turn away his anger from him.

¹⁹Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of the wicked:

²⁰for there shall be no future to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

²¹My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.
