Proverbs 24:15-22

Saying 27

Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,

do not plunder their dwelling place;

for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,

but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Saying 28

Do not gloat when your enemy falls;

when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,

or the Lord will see and disapprove

and turn his wrath away from them.

Saying 29

Do not fret because of evildoers

or be envious of the wicked,

for the evildoer has no future hope,

and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

Saying 30

Fear the Lord and the king, my son,

and do not join with rebellious officials,

for those two will send sudden destruction on them,

and who knows what calamities they can bring?
