O złośniku! Nie czyhajże na mieszkanie sprawiedliwego, ani mu przekażaj pokoju jego.
Nie czyń zasadzki, niezbożniku! na przybytek sprawiedliwego, a nie przeszkadzaj odpocznieniu jego.
Nie skradaj się jak bezbożnik przed mieszkaniem sprawiedliwego i nie burz jego siedziby,
Niegodziwcze, nie wypatruj majętności sprawiedliwego i nie pustosz miejsca jego wypoczynku.
Nie czyń zasadzki, niezbożniku! na przybytek sprawiedliwego, a nie przeszkadzaj odpocznieniu jego.
Nie czyhaj, niegodziwcze, przed mieszkaniem sprawiedliwego, nie burz miejsca jego odpoczynku;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Lay not wait, O wicked [man], against the dwelling of the righteous,.... 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" p; 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The teaching of the proverb warns men not to attack or plot against the righteous. They will lose their labor, âThough the just man fall (not into sin, but into calamities), yet he riseth up.â The point of the teaching is not the liability of good men to err, but Godâs providential care over them (compare the margin reference). âSeven timesâ is a certain for an uncertain number (compare Job 5:19). In contrast with this is the fate of the evildoers, who fall utterly even in a single distress.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 24:15. The dwelling of the righteous — צ×××§ tsaddik, the man who is walking unblameably in all the testimonies of God; who is rendering to every man his due.
