Proverbs 24:15
Compare all
13 My son, aeat honey because it is good,
And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste; 
14 aSo shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;
If you have found it, there is a1 prospect,
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 plunder his resting place;
16 aFor a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
bBut the wicked shall fall by calamity. 
17 aDo not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
