Proverbs 24:14-22

¹⁴So learn thou wisdom for thy soul! When thou hast found it, there shall be a reward, And thy expectation shall not be cut off.

¹⁵Plot not, O wicked man! against the habitation of the righteous; Spoil not his resting-place!

¹⁶For though the righteous fall seven times, yet shall he rise up again; But the wicked shall fall into mischief.

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

¹⁸Lest the LORD see, and it displease him, And he turn away his anger from him.

¹⁹Fret not thyself on account of evil men, Neither be thou envious of the wicked;

²⁰For there shall be no posterity to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

²¹My son, fear thou the LORD and the king; And mingle not with them that are given to change!

²²For their calamity shall rise up suddenly, And their ruin, coming from them both, in a moment.
