## Proverbs 24:17-19 in Context (Verses 14–22 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/15) Lay not wait, O wicked *man*, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/16) For a just *man* falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/17) Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
 
 [18 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/18) Lest the LORD see *it*, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/19) Fret not thyself because of evil *men*, neither be thou envious at the wicked;*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/20) For there shall be no reward to the evil *man;* the candle of the wicked shall be put out.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/21) My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: *and* meddle not with them that are given to change:*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/proverbs/24/22) For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
 
[Proverbs 23](/kjv/proverbs/23) [Proverbs 25](/kjv/proverbs/25)
