14. Such, you must know, is wisdom to your soul.If you find it, you will have a future,and your hope will not be cut off.
15. Do not lie in wait at the abode of the just,do not ravage their dwelling places;
16. Though the just fall seven times, they rise again,but the wicked stumble from only one mishap.
17. Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,and when they stumble, do not let your heart exult,
18. Lest the Lord see it, be displeased with you,and withdraw his wrath from your enemies.
19. Do not be provoked at evildoers,do not envy the wicked;
