American Standard Version
"Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place: "
— Proverbs 24:15, American Standard Version
“Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:”
“Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don't destroy his resting place:”
“Do not lie in wait like the wicked against the place where the righteous live; do not assault his home.”
“Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.”
“Do not keep a secret watch, O evil-doer, against the fields of the upright man, or send destruction on his resting-place:”
“Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:”
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:
For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;
Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
