Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 3:33

"The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous." — Proverbs 3:33 (ASV)

He blesseth the habitation of the just.— The word rendered “habitation” often signifies “pasture,” “sheepfold,” and this is a relic of the time when the Israelites led a nomad life and had no fixed habitations; so the cry, “To your tents, O Israel!” (1 Kings 12:16) was still in use long after the settlement in Canaan. By some there is thought to be a distinction intended between the well-built “house” of the wicked and the slightly constructed cottage of the humble just man, no better than a shepherd’s hut.
