Proverbs 24:15 in context

  1. 13My son, eat honey, for it is good,
    the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
  2. 14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul.
    If you have found it, then there will be a reward:
    Your hope will not be cut off.
  3. 15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous.
    Don’t destroy his resting place;
  4. 16for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again;
    but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
  5. 17Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls.
    Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,
