Read in context

Proverbs 24:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.

16 For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

18 or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.
