Proverbs 4:16-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 For they cannot rest unless they have done evil;
if they do not trip anyone they lose sleep.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is like shining light,
that grows in brilliance till perfect day.[a]
19 The way of the wicked is like darkness;
they do not know on what they stumble.
