Proverbs 4:14-19

New American Standard Bible

^14 (A)Do not enter the path of the wicked
And do not proceed in the way of evil people.
¹⁵ Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Turn away from it and pass on.
¹⁶ For they ^(B)cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And ^[a]they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
¹⁷ For they ^(C)eat the bread of wickedness,
And drink the wine of violence.
¹⁸ But the ^(D)path of the righteous is like the ^(E)light of dawn
That ^(F)shines brighter and brighter until the ^(G)full day.
¹⁹ The ^(H)way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they ^[b](I)stumble.
