PROVERBS 24:14-22

¹⁴So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul: if thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, and thy hope shall not be cut off.

¹⁵Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

¹⁶For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

¹⁷Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he is overthrown:

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

¹⁹Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; neither be thou envious at the wicked:

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

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

²²For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the destruction of them both?
