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. Do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles.
