Avoid the Path of the Wicked
“Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.”
Proverbs 4:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 4:14
The prohibition: enter not the path of the wicked, go not in the way of evil men. The double negative emphasizes comprehensive avoidance - don't start down that path, and if you've started, don't continue. The imagery of paths presents life as journey requiring constant directional decisions. Association with the wicked and adoption of their ways are linked - companionship influences conduct. Therefore, avoiding evil requires avoiding evildoers.
