Proverbs 24:15-21 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

15. Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; lay not waste his resting-place.

16. For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.

17. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth;

18. lest Jehovah see it, and it be evil in his sight, and he turn away his anger from him.

19. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of the wicked:

20. for there shall be no future to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

21. My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.
