Proverbs 24:14-23 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

14. so 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.

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

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

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

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

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

20. for there will be no reward to the evil man;and the lamp of the wicked shall be snuffed out.

21. My son, fear the Lord and the king.Don’t join those who are rebellious:

22. for their calamity will rise suddenly;the destruction from them both—who knows?

23. These also are sayings of the wise.To show partiality in judgement is not good.
