14 I want you to know that wisdom is sweet to you. If you find it, there is hope for you tomorrow. So your hope will not be cut off.
15 Don't hide and wait like a burglar at a godly person's house. Don't rob his home.
16 Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up. But those who are evil are brought down by trouble.
17 Don't be happy when your enemy falls. When he trips, don't let your heart be glad.
18 The Lord will see it, but he won't be pleased. He might turn his anger away from your enemy.
19 Don't be upset because of evil people. Don't long for what sinners have.
20 Tomorrow evil people won't have any hope. The lamps of sinners will be blown out.
