14 (A)Do not enter the path of wicked men
And do not step into the way of evil men.

17 For they (D)eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.

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.
