Proverbs 4:19

The Right Path

¹⁸
But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.
¹⁹ 
The way of the wicked is like [deep] darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble. ²⁰
My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn;
Open your ears to my sayings.

In Me

Way of the Wicked

Deep Darkness

We hope for gleam of light, but we walk in darkness and gloom.

Before He brings darkness
And before your feet stumble
On the dark and shadowy mountains,

He turns it into the shadow of death,
And makes it into thick darkness.
