Proverbes 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 24:19

Fret not thyself because of evil [men]
Because of their outward prosperity and worldly happiness, any more than rejoice at their adversity; neither do the one nor the other; where the one prevails, the other does also; by the frequent repetition of this advice, it looks as if this evil is what good men are prone to, and which was very common in Solomon's time, and in the time of his father David, from whom he seems to have borrowed these words, ( Psalms 37:1 Psalms 37:7 ) ; see ( Proverbs 23:17 ) ( 24:1 ) ; neither be thou envious at the wicked;
though they may stand when thou fallest, or be in prosperity when thou art in adversity; the reasons follow.

Proverbes 24:19 In-Context

17 Ne te réjouis pas de la chute de ton ennemi, Et que ton coeur ne soit pas dans l'allégresse quand il chancelle,
18 De peur que l'Eternel ne le voie, que cela ne lui déplaise, Et qu'il ne détourne de lui sa colÚre.
19 Ne t'irrite pas à cause de ceux qui font le mal, Ne porte pas envie aux méchants;
20 Car il n'y a point d'avenir pour celui qui fait le mal, La lampe des méchants s'éteint.
21 Mon fils, crains l'Eternel et le roi; Ne te mĂȘle pas avec les hommes remuants;
