Proverbs 24:16

For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall by calamity.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 24:16 Go To Proverbs 24

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430
“The just falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked shall be weakened in evils.” When evils befall the wicked, they are weakened by them. When evils befall the righteous, “the Lord strengthens all that are falling” … “and lifts up all those that have been cast down”: all, that is, who belong to him, for “God resists the proud.”
