Provérbios 4:17 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:17

For they eat the bread of wickedness
Either that is gotten by wicked and unlawful means, or wickedness itself is bread unto them; it is that to their minds as bread is to their bodies; they feed upon it with as much eagerness, appetite, gust, and pleasure; it is a sweet morsel to them; it is meat, drink, sleep, and everything to them; they take the highest satisfaction and the utmost delight in it; and drink the wine of violence:
either that which is obtained by rapine and violence; or they as greedily commit such acts of oppression and injury as a man drinks a glass of wine; they do not drink up iniquity like water only, but even like wine, the most generous and delicious. Wherefore all society with such men should be avoided.

Provérbios 4:17 In-Context

15 Evita-o, não passes por ele; desvia-te dele e passa de largo.
16 Pois não dormem, se não fizerem o mal, e foge deles o sono se não fizerem tropeçar alguém.
17 Porque comem o pão da impiedade, e bebem o vinho da violência.
18 Mas a vereda dos justos é como a luz da aurora que vai brilhando mais e mais até ser dia perfeito.
19 O caminho dos ímpios é como a escuridão: não sabem eles em que tropeçam.
