Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:15

This is a direct command against plotting harm to the righteous — targeting their home, their rest, their place of safety. It implies that such plots do exist and must be resisted.

Memory phrase: Never harm the righteous.

Talk about it: Why should we protect, not harm, people who are doing what is right?

Prayer: God, protect the homes of good people. Keep them safe.
