15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous, do not plunder their dwelling place;
15 Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous; do no violence to his home;
15 Don't interfere with good people's lives; don't try to get the best of them.
15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not plunder his resting place;
15 Don't wait in ambush at the home of the godly, and don't raid the house where the godly live.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:15
Commentary on Proverbs 24:15-16
(Read Proverbs 24:15-16)
The sincere soul falls as a traveller may do, by stumbling at some stone in his path; but gets up, and goes on his way with more care and speed. This is rather to be understood of falls into affliction, than falls into actual sin.
