15. Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.
16. For seven [times] doth the righteous fall and rise, And the wicked stumble in evil.
17. In the falling of thine enemy rejoice not, And in his stumbling let not thy heart be joyful,
18. Lest Jehovah see, and [it be] evil in His eyes, And He hath turned from off him His anger.
19. Fret not thyself at evil doers, Be not envious at the wicked,
20. For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the wicked is extinguished.
21. Fear Jehovah, my son, and the king, With changers mix not up thyself,
22. For suddenly doth their calamity rise, And the ruin of them both--who knoweth!
23. These also are for the wise: --To discern faces in judgment is not good.
