In context

14Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

15Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.

16For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.

17Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

18Or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.
