14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.(A)

turn from it and go on your way.

they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.

and drink the wine of violence.(C)

do not walk in the way of those who do evil.
15 Avoid it; do not transgress it;
turn away from it and pass by.

and they are robbed of their sleep if they do not cause stumbling.
17 For they ate the bread of wickedness,
and they drank the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the righteous ones is like the light of dawn,
leading and shining until the day is full.[a]
19 The way of the wicked ones is like deep darkness;
they do not know what they stumble over.
