Proverbs 4:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 For they cannot [a]sleep, except they have done evil, and their sleep departeth except they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of [b]wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the way of the righteous shineth as the light, that [c]shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
