Fret Not Thyself — Proverbs 24:13–20

My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:

For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;

Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.

Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
