Proverbs 24:16

Learning From Your Father

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 calamity.
¹⁷ Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
