PROVERBS 24:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.”
Or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him—a warning that gloating over an enemy's fall invokes God's displeasure, establishing that God protects even the falling wicked from the malicious. The consequence suggests that God's anger may turn away from the falling one toward the one who gloats. The theological significance involves the principle that God sides with the humble and turns from the proud.
