Sirach 9:12

Don’t delight in the success of the ungodly. Remember that they won’t be considered righteous, even in the grave.
Sit not at all with another man's wife, nor repose upon the bed with her:
Don't take pleasure in the things that make ungodly people happy; remember that they will be held guilty as long as they live.
Do not delight in the pleasures of the ungodly; remember, they will not die unpunished.
Take no delight in the pleasures of an ungodly man; remember that before his death he will endure some retribution.
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless all their lives.
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless all their lives.
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless all their lives.
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless until Hades.
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless as long as they live.
Do not delight in what pleases the ungodly; remember that they will not be held guiltless as long as they live.
The wrong of unjust men please not thee, and know thou that a wicked man shall not please till to hells (or unto the grave). [Please not to thee the wrong of unrightwise men, witting for unto hell the unpious shall not (be able to) please.]
