Proverbs 24:15

Learning From Your Father

¹⁴ Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope 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 the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
