17 Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls.Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
18 lest the Lord see it, and it displease him,and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers;neither be envious of the wicked:
20 for there will be no reward to the evil man;and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
21 My son, fear the Lord and the king.Don’t join those who are rebellious:
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly;the destruction from them both—who knows?
23 These also are sayings of the wise.To show partiality in judgment is not good.
