Proverbs 24:15-22

Saying 27 15Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place;

16for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Saying 28 17Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,

18or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

Saying 29 19Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked,

20for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

Saying 30 21Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with rebellious officials,

22for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?
