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.
22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23These things also come from the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
25but to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing cometh upon them.
26He kisseth the lips who giveth a right answer.
27Prepare thy work without, and put thy field in order, and afterwards build thy house.
28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and wouldest thou deceive with thy lips?
29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me, I will render to the man according to his work.
30I went by the field of a sluggard, and by the vineyard of a man void of understanding;
31and lo, it was all grown over with thistles, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and its stone wall was broken down.
32Then I looked, I took it to heart; I saw, I received instruction:
33— A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest!
