New King James Version

¹⁴^(A)Do not enter the path of the wicked,
And do not walk in the way of evil.
¹⁵Avoid it, do not travel on it;
Turn away from it and pass on.
¹⁶^(B)For they do not sleep unless they have done evil;
And their sleep is ^[a]taken away unless they make someone fall.
¹⁷For they eat the bread of wickedness,
And drink the wine of violence.

¹⁸^(C)But the path of the just ^(D)is like the shining ^[b]sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
¹⁹^(E)The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble.
