16. The righteous may fall seven times but still get up,but the wicked will stumble into trouble.
17. When your enemies fall, don’t rejoice.When they stumble, don’t let your heart be glad,
18. or the Lord will see it and be displeased,and he will turn his anger from them.
19. Don’t get fighting mad at evil people;don’t be envious of the wicked.
20. Indeed, there is no future for the evil;the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
21. Fear the Lord, my child, as well as the king.Don’t associate with those who are rebellious.
22. Disaster comes suddenly from them.Who can know the ruin that both can bring?
