15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not plunder his resting place;
16 (A)For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
(B)But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again;
But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
