Proverbs 4:17 Context
15Auoid it, passe not by it, turne from it, and passe away. 16For they sleepe not except they haue done mischiefe: and their sleepe is taken away vnlesse they cause some to fall. 17For they eate the bread of wickednesse, and drinke the wine of violence. 18But the path of the iust is as the shining light that shineth more and more vnto the perfect day. 19The way of the wicked is as darknes: they know not at what they stumble.
