Contemplative Bible Reading

Proverbs 24:17-18 (New International Version)

¹⁷ Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
¹⁸ or the LORD will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.

This is a timely read considering the recent death of Osama bin Laden and the ensuing celebrations. Perhaps connecting these verses with those events is a stretch, but perhaps not.
