16. For though the righteous one may fall seven times, he gets up again, but the wicked stumble in adversity.
17. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, or let your heart be glad when he stumbles,
18. or Adonai may see it as evil in His eyes, and turn His wrath away from him.
19. Do not be upset because of evil people, or be envious of the wicked,
20. for the evil person has no future, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
21. My son, fear Adonai and the king, and do not associate with rebels.
22. For their destruction will arise suddenly, and who knows the ruin both Adonai and the king can bring?
23. These sayings are also from the wise: Partiality in judgment is not good.
