Proverbs
Chapters 24:15-21
New International Version Anglicized
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 disapproveand turn his wrath away from them.Saying 29
19Do not fret because of evildoersor 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,
