Proverbs 24:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ No matter how often honest people fall, they always get up again; but disaster destroys the wicked.

-28-

¹⁷ Don't be glad when your enemies meet disaster, and don't rejoice when they stumble. ¹⁸ The Lord will know if you are gloating, and he will not like it; and then maybe he won't punish them.
