Proverbs 24:15-22 NIRV

Proverbs 24:15-22

Saying 27

Don’t hide and wait like a burglar near a godly person’s house.

Don’t rob their home.

Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up.

But those who are evil trip and fall when trouble comes.

Saying 28

Don’t be happy when your enemy falls.

When he trips, don’t let your heart be glad.

The Lord will see it, but he won’t be pleased.

He might turn his anger away from your enemy.

Saying 29

Don’t be upset because of evil people.

Don’t long for what sinners have.

Tomorrow evil people won’t have any hope.

The lamps of sinners will be blown out.

Saying 30

My son, have respect for the Lord and the king.

Don’t join with officials who disobey them.

The Lord and the king will suddenly destroy them.

Who knows what trouble those two can bring?
