Proverbs 4:14 - 4:19
14
Do not enter the path of wicked men
And do not step into the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Stray from it and pass on.
16 For they do not sleep unless they do evil;
And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
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 fullness of day.
19 The way of the wicked is like thick darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.

How much more do his friends distance themselves from him!
He pursues them with words, but they are no more.

Therefore do not associate with one of loose lips.

And take on a snare against your soul.

Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
21 For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe them with rags.
