Proverbs 28:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 A heartless leader is a fool,
but anyone who refuses
to get rich by cheating others
will live a long time.
17 Don't give help to murderers!
Make them stay on the run
for as long as they live.[a]
18 Honesty will keep you safe,
but everyone who is crooked
will suddenly fall.
