Proverbs 24:15-16 The Message (MSG)

Proverbs 24:15-16 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Listen up, you wicked, irreverent ones— don’t harass the lovers of God and don’t invade their resting place. For the lovers of God may suffer adversity and stumble seven times, but they will continue to rise over and over again. But the unrighteous are brought down by just one calamity and will never be able to rise again.
