In context
13 Take fast hold of correction, let her not go,—keep her, for, she, is thy life.
14 Upon the path of the lawless, do not thou enter, and do not advance in the way of the wicked:
15 Avoid it, do not pass thereon—turn from it, and depart.
16 For they sleep not, unless they can do mischief,—They rob themselves of their sleep, if they cannot cause someone to stumble,
17 For they consume bread gotten by lawlessness, and, wine obtained by violence, they drink.
18 But, the path of the righteous, is as the light of dawn,—going on and brightening, unto meridian day.
19 The way of the lawless, is like darkness, they know not, at what they stumble.
