SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:15
¶ Oh impío, no aceches la tienda del justo, no saquees su cámara;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 24:15
Verse 15. The dwelling of the righteous ] qydx tsaddik, the man who is walking unblameably in all the testimonies of God; who is rendering to every man his due.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. Lay not wait, O wicked [man], against the dwelling of the righteous , etc.] The church of God, which is the righteous man’s dwelling place, and where he desires and delights to dwell; or his own dwelling house; it may be rendered, “at the dwelling of the righteous” f665 ; lay not wait at his door to observe who goes in and out, and what is done there; and to watch for his halting, and take notice of his infirmities, slips, and falls, and improve them to his disadvantage; and so the Vulgate Latin version, “and lay not wait and seek ungodliness in the house of the righteous”; or lay not wait there for him, as Saul set men to watch the house of David to kill him, ( 1 Samuel 19:11); or to take an opportunity and get into it and plunder it, as follows; spoil not his resting place : by pulling it down, or stripping it of its furniture; by robbing him of the substance in it, and thus disturbing his rest, and destroying the place of it; or the place where he lies down as a sheep in its fold, or as the shepherd in his cottage, of which the words in the text are used; and so denote that as the righteous man is like a sheep, harmless and innocent, those that lay in wait for him and spoil him are no other than wolves.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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 an speed. This is rather to be understood of falls into affliction, tha falls into actual sin.
