Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil. They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.

这等人若不行恶，不得睡觉；不使人跌倒，睡卧不安；

他们若不行恶，难以成眠，不使人跌倒，就睡卧不安；

他们若不行恶，难以成眠，不使人跌倒，就睡卧不安；

因为他们不作恶就无法入睡，不绊倒人就无法安眠；

因为他们不行恶，就不能入睡；不使人跌倒，就要失眠。

要知道，这些人如果不作恶就睡不着觉，不绊倒人就睡卧不安；

這等人若不行惡，不得睡覺；不使人跌倒，睡臥不安；

他們若不行惡，難以成眠，不使人跌倒，就睡臥不安；

他們若不行惡，難以成眠，不使人跌倒，就睡臥不安；

因為他們不作惡就無法入睡，不絆倒人就無法安眠；

因為他們不行惡，就不能入睡；不使人跌倒，就要失眠。

因為他們若不行惡，就睡不着覺；若不使人跌倒，其安眠就被奪去。

要知道，這些人如果不作惡就睡不著覺，不絆倒人就睡臥不安；

蓋彼未行惡則不眠、未傾人則廢寢、

惡人不為不軌、則卧有不安、不使人傾危、則寢有不暇。

惡人若不行惡、不遑寢寐、不陷害人、不暇合目、

For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.

For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.

For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day. They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.

For they can’t sleep unless they have done what is evil; they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.

For they cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.

For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.

For they sleep not, except they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

For they can’t sleep unless they have done what is evil; they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.

For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause[ some] to fall.

For they cannot sleep unless they cause harm; they are robbed of sleep until they make someone stumble.

For they don’t sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.

Even as they lie in bed they make evil plans. They commit themselves to a sinful way of life. They never say no to what is wrong.

How terrible it will be for those who plan to harm others! How terrible for those who make evil plans before they even get out of bed! As soon as daylight comes, they carry out their plans. That’s because they have the power to do it.

They are always in a hurry to sin. They are quick to spill someone’s blood.

But those who are evil are like the rolling sea. It never rests. Its waves toss up mud and sand.

They stare at women who are not their wives. They want to sleep with them. They never stop sinning. They trap those who are not firm in their faith. They have mastered the art of getting what they want. God has placed them under his judgment.

Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning. The Jewish leaders did not want to be made“ unclean.” They wanted to be able to eat the Passover meal. So they did not enter the palace.
