Commentary for Proverbs 24:16

כִּ֤י שֶׁ֨בַע ׀ יִפּ֣וֹל צַדִּ֣יק וָקָ֑ם וּ֝רְשָׁעִ֗ים יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ בְרָעָֽה׃

For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again, But the wicked stumble under adversity.

Metzudat David on Proverbs

For even if the righteous have fallen seven times, they will return and rise. However, the wicked are ones who are stumbling without rising and evil befalls them.
