ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૪:૧૬
કારણ કે નીતિમાન માણસ સાત વાર પડશે તોપણ તે પાછો ઊભો થશે, પણ દુષ્ટો વિપત્તિથી પાયમાલ થઈ જશે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २४:१६
क्योंकि धर्मी चाहे सात बार गिरे तो भी उठ खड़ा होता है; परन्तु दुष्ट लोग विपत्ति में गिरकर पड़े ही रहते हैं।

In context

14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;

16for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

17Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,

18lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
