‏ Proverbs 24:16

v. 16: For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Even if a good person suffers many setbacks or even sins by mistake, God gives them strength to rise again. Their troubles are not permanent; they learn, repent, and are restored. In contrast, when the wicked fall, they are ruined by their own actions and cannot recover. Their evil plans end in disaster for themselves. This verse teaches that God protects and restores the righteous, while the wicked cannot escape the consequences of their wrongdoing.
