Proverbs 4:17

A church father on this verse
“They eat the bread of wickedness, etc. Thus, by the action of wicked crimes, they are delighted as if by set feasts. Or certainly they drink the wine of the condemned, and they rejoice in taking ears of grain from the hungry, as the holy Scripture testifies about the custom of the impious.”
Bede, 8th c. — Commentary on Proverbs

In context

15In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; But turn from them, and pass away.

16For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: Their sleep is taken away, and they rest not.

— Proverbs 4:17 —

18But the ways of the righteous shine like light; They go on and shine, until the day be fully come.

19But the ways of the ungodly are dark; They know not how they stumble.
