16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,

but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,

but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:

But the wicked shall fall into mischief.

16 The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.

But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

16 Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated,

but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.

16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again;

But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

16 For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.

16 A righteous person may fall seven times, but he gets up again. 

However, in a disaster wicked people fall. 

16 Though a righteous man falls seven times,

he will get up,

but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

16 for though they fall seven times, they will rise again;

but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

16 For seven times the righteous will fall, but he will rise,

but the wicked will be overthrown by calamity.

16 Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up.

But those who are evil are brought down by trouble.

16 For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,

But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
