Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; or the Lord will see it and be displeased, and turn His anger away from him.
Proverbs 24:17-18
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons
Of your Father who is in heaven for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteousness. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do even tax gatherers do the same?
Matthew 5:43-46
Also see Romans 12:17-21, Psalm 35:12-16, Ezekiel 18:11
How we treat and respond to those who treat us ill is a true mark of the reality of our faith.
