So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.^*

Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;^*

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.^*
