Mishle 4:15 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 4:15

Avoid it
As dangerous and pernicious, as abominable and detestable; or, "flee from it", as the Vulgate Latin version: Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, "make it void"; cause it to cease, destroy it, do all you can to hinder the wicked from accomplishing their designs; pass not by it;
do not come near it; keep at a distance from it, that you may not be drawn into it; abstain from all appearance of evil, and everything that may lead to it; turn from it, and pass away;
the Targum adds, "from them", from wicked men. This heap of words is used to show the danger of bad company; to dissuade from the least approach to it; and to express the vehement desire of the wise man to preserve his son, and all well inclined persons, from it.

14 Enter not into the orach resha’im, and go not on the derech ra’im (road of the wicked).

15 Avoid it, travel al (not) on it, turn from it, and pass on.

16 For they sleep not, unless they have done evil; and their sheynah (sleep) is robbed, unless they cause some to fall.

17 For they eat the lechem of resha, and drink the yayin of chamasim (violences).
