Proverbs 24:15-21

¹⁵Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;

¹⁶for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

¹⁷Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,

¹⁸lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

¹⁹Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;

²⁰for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

²¹My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious,
