Proverbs 4:17 — Meaning and Application

Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause {some} to fall.

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

But the path of the just {is} as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

The way of the wicked {is} as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
