Bible in Basic English
"Do not be troubled because of evil-doers, or have envy of sinners:"
— Proverbs 24:19, Bible in Basic English
For an upright man, after falling seven times, will get up again: but trouble is the downfall of the evil.
Do not be glad at the fall of your hater, and let not your heart have joy at his downfall:
For fear that the Lord may see it, and it may be evil in his eyes, and his wrath may be turned away from him.
Do not be troubled because of evil-doers, or have envy of sinners:
For there will be no future for the evil man; the light of sinners will be put out.
My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:
For their downfall will come suddenly; and who has knowledge of the destruction of those in high positions?
