Proverbs 24:16 in Context — Proverbs 24
14 De même, connais la sagesse pour ton âme; Si tu la trouves, il est un avenir, Et ton espérance ne sera pas anéantie.
15 Ne tends pas méchamment des embûches à la demeure du juste, Et ne dévaste pas le lieu où il repose;
16 Car sept fois le juste tombe, et il se relève, Mais les méchants sont précipités dans le malheur.
17 Ne te réjouis pas de la chute de ton ennemi, Et que ton cœur ne soit pas dans l’allégresse quand il chancelle,
18 De peur que l’Éternel ne le voie, que cela ne lui déplaise, Et qu’il ne détourne de lui sa colère.
