Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

that shines more and more until the perfect day.

They don’t know what they stumble over.

And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

And drink the wine of violence.

That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

They know not at what they stumble.
