14 Tal será el conocimiento de la sabiduría á tu alma: si la hallares tendrá recompensa, y al fin tu esperanza no será cortada.

15 Oh impío, no aceches la tienda del justo, no saquees su cámara;

16 Porque siete veces cae el justo, y se torna á levantar; mas los impíos caerán en el mal.

17 Cuando cayere tu enemigo, no te huelgues; y cuando tropezare, no se alegre tu corazón:

18 Porque Jehová no lo mire, y le desagrade, y aparte de sobre él su enojo.
