14 Enter not into the path of the wicked,
and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it,
turn from it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief;
and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness,
and drink the wine of violence.

that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness:
they know not at what they stumble.

and drink the wine of violence.(C)
