The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Verse 19 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.

Der Gottlosen Weg aber ist wie Dunkel; sie wissen nicht, wo sie fallen werden.
El camino de los impíos es como la oscuridad: No saben en qué tropiezan.
El camino de los malvados es como la oscuridad; no saben con qué tropiezan.
La voie des méchants est comme les ténèbres; Ils n'aperçoivent pas ce qui les fera tomber.
La via degli empi è come una caligine; Essi non sanno in che incappano
O caminho dos ímpios é como a escuridão; nem sabem em que tropeçam.
惡人的道幽暗, 自己不知因何跌倒。
