"For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence."
— Proverbs 4:17, World English Bible
“For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.”
“For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. ”
“Indeed they have eaten bread gained from wickedness and drink wine obtained from violence.”
“They eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of iniquity.”
“The bread of evil-doing is their food, the wine of violent acts their drink.”
“For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.”
Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way of evil men.
Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.
For they don't sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over.
My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.
