16. For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
17. When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
18. Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19. Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
20. For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21. My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
22. For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
23. These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
