Proverbs 3:33

The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just - (; .) The house of the Wicked, notwithstanding their present prosperity, is tainted with a curse, like a leper's house, which was therefore pulled down (; ; ). "The habitation" - literally, the cottage or shepherd's hut, such us David was raised from (Hebrew, nevee), in contrast to the house or grand mansion of the wicked. The humble cottage of the godly is infinitely better than the stately palace of the sinner; because the Lord's curse is on the latter, but His blessing on the former ().
