Proverbs 24:15 in context

  1. 13My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
  2. 14So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.
  3. 15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:
  4. 16For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
  5. 17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;
