This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_24:17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Ver. 17. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth.] If thou dost, it is a sure sign of devilish hatred - åðé÷áéñåêáêéá being the devil’s disease - what goodwill, innocence, or ignoscency soever thou makest show of. Job cleareth himself of this fault, {Job_31:24} and so doth David notably. {Psa_35:13-14} See his practice. {2Sa_1:11-12} Caesar wept when Pompey’s head was presented to him, and said, Victoriam volui, non vindictam. {See Trapp on "Mat_5:44"} {See Trapp on "Rom_12:19"}
