Proverbs 4:14–19

14 Keep off the path of the wicked;i

don’t proceed on the way of evil ones.

15 Avoid it; don’t travel on it.

Turn away from it, and pass it by.

16 For they can’t sleep

unless they have done what is evil;

they are robbed of sleep

unless they make someone stumble.j

17 They eat the bread of wickedness

and drink the wine of violence.

18 The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,k

shining brighter and brighter until midday.

19 But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom;l

they don’t know what makes them stumble.m
