There is much in this Proverb I have found comforting, but I never actually noticed the middle words of this verse. So true don’t even come close enough in passing by.

Pro 4:14  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

Pro 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

Proverbs 4:15 Gill

Avoid it,…. As dangerous and pernicious, as abominable and detestable; or, “flee from it”, as the Vulgate Latin version: Jarchi and Gersom interpret it, “make it void”; cause it to cease, destroy it, do all you can to hinder the wicked from accomplishing their designs;

pass not by it; do not come near it; keep at a distance from it, that you may not be drawn into it; abstain from all appearance of evil, and everything that may lead to it.

turn from it, and pass away; the Targum adds, “from them”, from wicked men. This heap of words is used to show the danger of bad company; to dissuade from the least approach to it; and to express the vehement desire of the wise man to preserve his son, and all well inclined persons, from it.
