Proverbs 4:17 in Context — Proverbs 4
15 Desampárala, no pases por ella; apártate de ella, pasa.
16 Porque no duermen ellos, si no hicieren mal; y pierden su sueño, si no han hecho caer.
17 Porque comen pan de maldad, y beben vino de robos.
18 Mas la senda de los justos es como la luz de la aurora, que va en aumento hasta que el día es perfecto.
19 El camino de los impíos es como la oscuridad: no saben en qué tropiezan.
