Verse 16
"When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall."
Other proverbs in the same vein of thought are: Proverbs 11:10-11; 28:12,28; and Proverbs 29:2, above. See comments under those references. "Here the proverb carries the theme further than the other passages by its closing assurance."[22]
