Proverbs 24:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 [a]Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,
and when they stumble, do not let your heart exult,
Footnotes
- 24:17–18 The admonition is linked to the previous by the words “fall” and “stumble.” Premature public celebration of the downfall of enemies equivalently preempts the retribution that belongs to God.
