Proverbs 24:15

Learning From Your Father

¹⁴ Know that wisdom is thus for your soul;
If you find it, then 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 a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
