¹⁵ Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

¹⁶ For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

¹² When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

²⁸ When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

² When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

¹⁶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

²⁷ An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

⁹ He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

⁶ Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

⁸ The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
