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

do not plunder their dwelling place;

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

but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls;

when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,

18 or the Lord will see and disapprove

and turn his wrath away from them.

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.

17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,

And let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

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

And he turn away his wrath from him.

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

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

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

But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

17 Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;

don’t be happy when they stumble.

18 For the Lord will be displeased with you

and will turn his anger away from them.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

Do not plunder his resting place;

16 For a righteous man may fall seven times

And rise again,

But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

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

And He turn away His wrath from him.

15 Don’t be wicked and attack a good family’s house;

don’t rob the place where they live.

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

but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.

17 Don’t be happy when your enemy is defeated;

don’t be glad when he is overwhelmed.

18 The Lord will notice and be displeased.

He may not be angry with them anymore.

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

Destroy not his resting-place:

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

But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,

And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;

18 Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him,

And he turn away his wrath from him.

15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; lay not waste his resting-place. 16 For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.

17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth; 18 lest Jehovah see it, and it be evil in his sight, and he turn away his anger from him.

15 You wicked one, 

do not lie in ambush at the home of a righteous person. 

Do not rob his house. 

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

However, in a disaster wicked people fall. 

17 Do not be happy when your enemy falls, 

and do not feel glad when he stumbles. 

18 The Lord will see it, he won’t like it, 

and he will turn his anger away from that person. 

15 Wicked man, don’t set an ambush,

at the camp of the righteous man;

don’t destroy his dwelling.

16 Though a righteous man falls seven times,

he will get up,

but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

17 Don’t gloat when your enemy falls,

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

18 or the Lord will see, be displeased,

and turn His wrath away from him.

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

do no violence to the place where the righteous live;

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

but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

17 Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,

and do not let your heart be glad when they stumble,

18 or else the Lord will see it and be displeased,

and turn away his anger from them.

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

do not do violence to his dwelling place.

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

but the wicked will be overthrown by calamity.

17 While your enemies are falling, do not rejoice;

when he trips himself, may your heart not be glad

18 lest Yahweh see and it be evil in his eyes,

and turn his anger away from him.

15 Don’t hide and wait like a burglar at a godly person’s house.

Don’t rob his home.

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

But those who are evil are brought down by trouble.

17 Don’t be happy when your enemy falls.

When he trips, don’t let your heart be glad.

18 The Lord will see it, but he won’t be pleased.

He might turn his anger away from your enemy.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

Do not destroy his resting place;

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

But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.

17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

18 Or the Lord will see it and be displeased,

And turn His anger away from him.
