16. For they cannot sleep unless they cause harm;they are robbed of sleep until they make someone stumble.
17. For they eat bread gained from wickednessand drink wine obtained from violence.
18. But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light,growing brighter and brighter until full day.
19. The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness;they do not know what causes them to stumble.
20. My child, pay attention to my words;listen attentively to my sayings.
21. Do not let them depart from your sight,guard them within your heart;
22. for they are life to those who find them and healing to one’s entire body.
