Do not rejoice when your enemies fall, and do not let your heart be glad when they stumble, or else the Lord will see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from them. (NRSV 24:17-18)
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. (KJV 24:17-18)
God doesn't want people to rejoice at punishment—his method of disciplining people seems to be more about rehabilitation than retribution.
