New International Version (NIV)

16for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,

but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

16For a righteous person falls seven times and rises again,

But the wicked stumble in time of disaster.

16For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,

But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse. [Job 5:19; Ps 34:19; 37:24; Mic 7:8]

16For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up;

but the wicked stumble in bad times.

16For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again;

But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

16For a iust man falleth seuen times, and riseth againe: but the wicked fall into mischiefe.

16for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again,

but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

16Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up.

But those who are evil trip and fall when trouble comes.

16If an honest person falls down seven times, he will still stand up again. But when trouble comes to a wicked person, that is the end of him.

16For the righteous fall and rise seven [times], || And the wicked stumble in evil.
