Description / commentaries - Pirkei Avot - Mishnah 4 - Chapter 3

R. Chanina ben Chachinai says: One who is awake at night, and one who walks on the road alone, [and thinks vain thoughts], and one who turns his heart on vanity is liable for his soul [(because the night is the time of the mazikkim (destructive agents). And one who walks alone on the road is in danger of robbers and other vicissitudes.)]
