Verse 17 is found in chapter 4 of Proverbs. The father contrasts two paths. The path of the righteous grows progressively brighter, while the way of the wicked is characterized by stumbling and darkness. The image of increasing light describes the moral direction produced by wisdom, while the inability of the wicked to recognize what causes them to fall reveals the self-destructive nature of their conduct.
