Proverbs 4:14-19

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ 
Do not enter the path of the wicked,
And do not go the way of evil men.
¹⁵ 
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
Turn away from it and pass on.
¹⁶ 
For the wicked cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And they are deprived of sleep unless they make someone stumble and fall.
¹⁷ 
For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
¹⁸ 
But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.^(A)
19 
The way of the wicked is like [deep] darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.^(B)
