Proverbs 24:19-20 in Context (Verses 16–23 KJV)
16
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
17
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18
Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.*
19
Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;*
20
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.*
21
My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:*
22
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
23
These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
