Proverbs 24:15-20

New Living Translation

¹⁵ Don’t wait in ambush at the home of the godly,
    and don’t raid the house where the godly live.
¹⁶ The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
    But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

¹⁷ Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
    don’t be happy when they stumble.
¹⁸ For the Lord will be displeased with you
    and will turn his anger away from them.

¹⁹ Don’t fret because of evildoers;
    don’t envy the wicked.
²⁰ For evil people have no future;
    the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
