Proverbs 24:15

Learning From Your Father

¹⁴
Know that [skillful and godly] wisdom is [so very good] for your life and soul;
If you find wisdom, then there will be a future and a reward,
And your hope and expectation will not be cut off. ¹⁵ 
Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not destroy his resting place;
¹⁶
For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.
