Proverbs 24:15-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against the home of the righteous;
do no violence to the place where the righteous live;(A)
16 for though they fall seven times, they will rise again,
but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.(B)
17 Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,
and do not let your heart be glad when they stumble,(C)
18 lest the Lord see it and be displeased
and turn away his anger from them.
19 Do not fret because of evildoers.
Do not envy the wicked,(D)
20 for the evil have no future;
the lamp of the wicked will go out.(E)

17 Do not gloat(B) when your enemy falls;

Proverbs 24:15-20
King James Version
15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
