Proverbs 4:17 in Context — Proverbs 4
15 Rejeita-o! Não passes por ele; desvia-te dele, e passa longe.
16 Pois eles não dormem se não fizerem o mal; e ficam sem sono, se não fizerem tropeçar [a alguém] .
17 Porque comem pão da maldade, e bebem vinho de violências.
18 Mas o caminho dos justos é como a luz brilhante, que vai, e ilumina até o dia [ficar claro] por completo.
19 O caminho dos perversos é como a escuridão; não sabem nem em que tropeçam.
