Proverbs 4:17

The Right Path

¹⁶ For they sleep not except they have done mischief, and their sleep is taken away unless they have caused some to fall. ¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. ¹⁸ But the path of the righteous is as the shining light, going on and brightening until the day be fully come.
