Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
14 So you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; If you have found it, then will there be a reward, Your hope will not be cut off.
15 Don`t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don`t destroy his resting-place:
16 For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17 Don`t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don`t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
18 Lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Don`t fret yourself because of evildoers; Neither be envious of the wicked:
20 For there will be no reward to the evil man; And the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.
