17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
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
