Proverbs 24:16

Learning From Your Father

¹⁵ Wicked man, don’t set an ambush,
at the camp of the righteous man;
don’t destroy his dwelling.
¹⁶ Though a righteous man falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin. ¹⁷ Don’t gloat when your enemy falls,
and don’t let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,
