Do not lie in wait, 

O wicked man, 

against the dwelling of the righteous; 

Do not destroy his resting place;

For a righteous man falls seven times, 

and rises again, 

But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.

Proverbs 24:15-16 AMP

Can we see Jesus in this proverb?

He's certainly not the "wicked", but he is the "dwelling of the righteous" that the Enemy, the world, and even his family and friends were against at times.

Jesus was rejected by his own people, left alone in his suffering in the garden, disowned by those closest to him (eg Peter, Judas), faced starvation and temptation, humiliated and abused, felt rejected by God, and killed by crucifixion by the government with the blessing of his own ethnic and religious leaders, entered into death itself and absorbed the sins of the world. 

And rose again to Life.

Yes the righteous man falls seven times and rises again.

And if we simply believe in Him, believe in Jesus, choose to follow Him, we get to rise again on the strength of His righteousness, in the light and grace of God's love.
