Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 24:16
for a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
In context
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.
15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place:
16for a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
18lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
