Proverbs 24:16

Learning From Your Father

¹⁵ Do not keep a secret watch, O evil-doer, against the fields of the upright man, or send destruction on his resting-place: ¹⁶ For an upright man, after falling seven times, will get up again: but trouble is the downfall of the evil. ¹⁷ Do not be glad at the fall of your hater, and let not your heart have joy at his downfall:
