Proverbs 24

¹⁴ Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

¹⁵ Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.

¹⁶ For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.

¹⁷ Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

¹⁸ or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.
