Proverbs 24:17-22

English Standard Version

^17 (A)Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
    and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
¹⁸ lest the Lord see it and be displeased,
    and turn away his anger from him.

^19 (B)Fret not yourself because of evildoers,
    and be not ^(C)envious of the wicked,
²⁰ for the evil man has no ^(D)future;
    ^(E)the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

²¹ My son, ^(F)fear the Lord and the king,
    and do not join with those who do otherwise,
²² for disaster will arise suddenly from them,
    and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?
