Proverbs 28:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.

¹⁷ A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.

¹⁸ He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
