Proverbs 4:18

The Right Path

¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
¹⁸ But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.
¹⁹ The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.
