15 Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,

do not plunder their dwelling place;

16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,

but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Spoil not his resting place: 16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: But the wicked shall fall into mischief.

15 Don’t wait in ambush at the home of the godly,

and don’t raid the house where the godly live.

16 The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.

But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

Do not plunder his resting place;

16 For a righteous man may fall seven times

And rise again,

But the wicked shall fall by calamity.

15 Don’t be wicked and attack a good family’s house;

don’t rob the place where they live.

16 Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated,

but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.

15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous;

Destroy not his resting-place:

16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again;

But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; lay not waste his resting-place. 16 For the righteous falleth seven times, and riseth up again; but the wicked stumble into disaster.

15 You wicked one, 

do not lie in ambush at the home of a righteous person. 

Do not rob his house. 

16 A righteous person may fall seven times, but he gets up again. 

However, in a disaster wicked people fall. 

15 Wicked man, don’t set an ambush,

at the camp of the righteous man;

don’t destroy his dwelling.

16 Though a righteous man falls seven times,

he will get up,

but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

15 Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against the home of the righteous;

do no violence to the place where the righteous live;

16 for though they fall seven times, they will rise again;

but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

15 Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against the home of the righteous;

do not do violence to his dwelling place.

16 For seven times the righteous will fall, but he will rise,

but the wicked will be overthrown by calamity.

15 Don’t hide and wait like a burglar at a godly person’s house.

Don’t rob his home.

16 Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up.

But those who are evil are brought down by trouble.

15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

Do not destroy his resting place;

16 For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,

But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
