Proverbs 24:13-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the dripping of the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

14. Thus know wisdom for the sake of your soul, if you find it, then there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

15. Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against the home of the righteous; do not do violence to his dwelling place.

16. For seven times the righteous will fall, but he will rise, but the wicked will be overthrown by calamity.

17. While your enemies are falling, do not rejoice; when he trips himself, may your heart not be glad

18. lest Yahweh see and it be evil in his eyes, and turn his anger away from him.

19. Do not fret because of the evildoers; do not envy the wicked.

20. For there will not be a future for the evil; the lamp of the wicked will die out.
