Proverbs 24:15

Verse 15 of 34. The 24th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

11Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

12If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not give to every man according to his work?

13My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;

14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;

16for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

17Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,

18lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

19Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;
