Proverbs 4:14-19
Legacy Standard Bible
14 (A)Do not enter the path of wicked men
And do not step into the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, do not pass by it;
(B)Stray from it and pass on.
16 For they (C)do not sleep unless they do evil;
And [a]they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
17 For they (D)eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
18 But the (E)path of the righteous is like the (F)light of dawn,
That (G)shines brighter and brighter until the (H)fullness of day.
19 The (I)way of the wicked is like thick darkness;
They do not know over what they [b](J)stumble.

14 Who with (D)perversity in his heart continually (E)devises evil,
Who [c](F)spreads contentions.

But the (G)years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The (H)expectation of the righteous is gladness,
But the (I)hope of the wicked will perish.
