Hate Or Love Your Enemy?
Proverbs 24:17-18 (NIV)

17) Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
18) or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.

Proverbs Club Commentary

This proverb was retired when Jesus proclaimed:

“You have heard that it was said,
‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I tell you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,”
Matthew 5:43-44

Crimes Against The Righteous
Proverbs 24:15-16 (NIV)

15) Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16) for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The grace of God allows the Righteous to recover from crimes.
The Wicked have no such assurances.
