Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 24:18

18 Lest the LORD see it, and † it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him .

Understand, upon thee, which is implied in the Hebrew Phrase, such defects being usual in that concise Language, Psal. 84. 11. Prov. 19. 1. and oft elsewere. This consideration strikes at the root of that sinful and inhumane disposition, which is an expectation of safety or advantage to himself by his enemies downfal, which, saith he, by this very mean thou shalt lose, for thine enemy shall be raised, and thy danger greatly increased by thy provoking both God and him against thee.
