14 In the same way, know that wisdom is good for you. Wisdom will give you something to hope for that will not disappoint you.
15 Don’t be like a criminal who makes plans to rob those who are good or take away their homes.
16 Good people might fall again and again, but they always get up. It is the wicked who are defeated by their troubles.
17 Don’t be happy when your enemy has troubles. Don’t be glad when they fall.
18 The Lord will see this, and he might be upset with you and decide not to punish your enemy.
19 Don’t let those who are evil upset you, and don’t be jealous of them.
20 They have no hope. Their light will burn out.
