In context
12 If you say, "Behold, we did not know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good; the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste:
14 so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul; if you have found it, then there will be a reward, your hope will not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Do not destroy his resting place:
16 for a righteous man falls seven times, and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Do not let your heart be glad when he is overthrown;
18 lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
