17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
17 Don't laugh when your enemy falls; don't crow over his collapse.
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
17 Don't rejoice when your enemies fall; don't be happy when they stumble.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:17
