Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

Verse 15 is found in chapter 24 of Proverbs. The wise person receives responsibility for those being led unjustly toward death. He cannot excuse himself by claiming ignorance because God knows the heart and weighs intentions. Then comes a warning against rejoicing when an enemy falls: such an attitude may bring the Lord’s displeasure. Biblical justice does not authorize turning an adversary’s misfortune into an occasion for personal celebration.

Laure nicht als Gottloser auf das Haus des Gerechten; verstöre seine Ruhe nicht.
Oh impío, no aceches la tienda del justo, No saquees su cámara;
Malvado, no aceches la casa del justo ni saquees su lugar de descanso.
Ne tends pas méchamment des embûches à la demeure du juste, Et ne dévaste pas le lieu où il repose;
O empio, non insidiar l’abitacolo del giusto, Non guastare il suo ricetto.
Não armes ciladas contra a habitação do justo, ó ímpio, nem assoles o seu lugar de repouso,
你這惡人,不可埋伏攻擊義人的家, 也不可毀壞他安居之所。
