Proverbs 24:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 24:18

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;

18 Lest the Lord see it, and¹ it displease Him,
And He turn away His wrath from him.

19 ^aDo not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the wicked;

20 For there will be no prospect for the evil man;
The lamp of the wicked will be put out.

21 My son, ^afear the Lord and the king;
Do not associate with those given to change;

22 For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin those two can bring?
