Proverbs 24:16 in Context — Proverbs 24

14 Assim será o conhecimento da sabedoria para tua alma; se a encontrares haverá recompensa [para ti] ; e tua esperança não será cortada.

15 Tu, perverso, não espies a habitação do justo, nem assoles seu quarto;

16 Porque o justo cai sete vezes, e se levanta; mas os perversos tropeçam no mal.

17 Quando teu inimigo cair, não te alegres; nem teu coração fique contente quando ele tropeçar,

18 Para que não [aconteça] de o SENHOR veja, e o desagrade, e desvie dele sua ira.
