Proverbs 24:17-18
17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18 Or the Lord will see it and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.

As we said previously, one key to having peace in the midst of dealing with a difficult narcissist is the understanding that God is a Just Judge, and will, in the end, give to the narcissist everything that they deserve. This trust that God will deal out the proper consequences can give us the freedom to focus on our own inner peace and happiness (which ultimately comes from Him), as well as “doing what is right” in our situation. If we are a genuinely loving person, we will not take delight in what God does to the the narcissist – but we will be at peace with it.

Proverbs 17:5
5 ……He who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
