    and do not walk in the way of the evil.
¹⁵ Avoid it; do not go on it;
    turn away from it and pass on.
¹⁶ For they ^(B)cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
    they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness
    ^(C)and drink the wine of violence.

^19 (H)The way of the wicked is like deep ^(I)darkness;
    they do not know over what they ^(J)stumble.

    but ^(C)the desire of the righteous will be granted.

²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
    so is the sluggard to those who send him.
^27 (F)The fear of the Lord prolongs life,
    ^(G)but the years of the wicked will be short.
^28 (H)The hope of the righteous brings joy,
    ^(I)but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
^29 (J)The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless,
    but destruction to evildoers.
^30 (K)The righteous will never be removed,
    but ^(L)the wicked will not dwell in the land.

^10 (A)When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
    and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
¹¹ By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
    but ^(B)by the mouth of the wicked ^(C)it is overthrown.

^5 (A)The thoughts of the righteous are just;
    the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
⁶ The words of the wicked ^(B)lie in wait for blood,
    but ^(C)the mouth of the upright delivers them.
^7 (D)The wicked are ^(E)overthrown and are no more,
    ^(F)but the house of the righteous will stand.

^10 (A)Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
