Spoil not his resting place:

16bFor a just man falleth cseven times, and riseth up again:

But dthe wicked shall efall into mischief.

17fRejoice not when thine enemy falleth,

And let not thine heart be glad when he estumbleth:

18Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him,

And he turn away his wrath from him.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous;

do no violence to his home;

for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,

but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,

lest the Lord see it and be displeased,

and turn away his anger from him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,

do not plunder their dwelling place;

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

but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Do not gloat when your enemy falls;

when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,

or the Lord will see and disapprove

and turn his wrath away from them.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Don’t set an ambush, you wicked one,

at the camp of the righteous man;

don’t destroy his dwelling.

Though a righteous person falls seven times,

he will get up,

but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

Don’t gloat when your enemy falls,

and don’t let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

or the Lord will see, be displeased,

and turn his wrath away from him.

NLTNew Living Translation

Don’t wait in ambush at the home of the godly,

and don’t raid the house where the godly live.

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

But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;

don’t be happy when they stumble.

For the Lord will be displeased with you

and will turn his anger away from them.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against the home of the righteous;

do not do violence to his dwelling place.

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

but the wicked will be overthrown by calamity.

While your enemies are falling, do not rejoice;

when he trips himself, may your heart not be glad

lest Yahweh see and it be evil in his eyes,

and turn his anger away from him.

KJV 1900King James Version

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

Spoil not his resting place:

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

But the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,

And let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him,

And he turn away his wrath from him.
