“The text, "For a just man shall fall seven times and shall rise again," means that he will not perish, however often he falls. There is here no question of falling into sins but of afflictions leading to a lower life.”

14Thus shalt thou perceive wisdom in thy soul: For if thou find it, thine end shall be good, And hope shall not fail thee.
15Bring not an ungodly man into the dwelling of the righteous: Neither be deceived by the feeding of the belly.

17If thine enemy should fall, rejoice not over him, Neither be elated at his overthrow.
18For the Lord will see it, and it will not please him, And he will turn away his wrath from him.
