If you say, “But we didn’t know about this,”
won’t he who weighs hearts consider it?
Won’t he who protects your life know?
Won’t he repay a person according to his work?
realize that wisdom is the same for you.
If you find it, you will have a future,
and your hope will never fade.
Don’t set an ambush, you wicked one,
at the camp of the righteous man;
don’t destroy his dwelling.
Though a righteous person falls seven times,
he will get up,
but the wicked will stumble into ruin.
Whoever says to the guilty, “You are innocent” —
peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;
but it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
and a generous blessing will come to them.
