Mishle 24:15-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. Lay not in wait, O rasha, against the naveh (dwelling) of the tzaddik; assault not his resting place;

16. For a tzaddik falleth sheva (seven times), and riseth up again, but the resha'im are overthrown in ra'ah.

17. Gloat not when thine oyev falleth, and let not thine lev rejoice when he stumbleth,

18. Lest Hashem see it, and it is rah in His eyes, and He turn away His wrath from him.

19. Fret not thyself because of ra'im, neither be thou envious of the resha'im,

20. For there shall be no acharit (latter end, future) to the rah; the ner (light) of the resha'im shall be put out.

21. Beni (my son), fear thou Hashem and the Melech, and do not associate with them that are otherwise disposed.

22. For their calamity shall arise suddenly; and who hath da'as of ruin those two [i.e., Hashem and the Melech] can bring?
