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

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Do not enter the path of the wicked,
and do not walk in the way of the evil.
Avoid it; do not go on it;
turn away from it and pass on.
For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
For they cannot rest until they do evil;
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Keep off the path of the wicked;
don’t proceed on the way of evil ones.
Avoid it; don’t travel on it.
Turn away from it, and pass it by.
For they can’t sleep
unless they have done what is evil;
they are robbed of sleep
unless they make someone stumble.
They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

NLTNew Living Translation
Don’t do as the wicked do,
and don’t follow the path of evildoers.
Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way.
Turn away and keep moving.
For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day.
They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.
They eat the food of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
In the path of the wicked do not go;
do not walk in the way of those who do evil.
Avoid it; do not transgress it;
turn away from it and pass by.
For they will not sleep if they have not done wrong,
and they are robbed of their sleep if they do not cause stumbling.
For they ate the bread of wickedness,
and they drank the wine of violence.
