Don't Envy the Wicked or Rejoice When Your Enemies Fall

God warns us to neither be envious of the wicked nor that we should be happy when even our enemies stumble or fall.

Proverbs 24:17-20
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Instead, we ourselves need to repent.

Luke 13:1-5
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Turn to God's ONLY Christ, and STOP choosing to send yourself to Hell.

Turn to God's ONLY salvation, and STOP choosing to suffer eternal damnation.
