Proverbs 28:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ If a ruler is cruel, it shows that he is not wise.
    But a ruler who refuses bribes will rule for a long time.
¹⁷ Someone who is guilty of murder will be running until he dies.
    Nobody should help him to escape.
¹⁸ If you live in an honest way, you will be safe.
    But the hypocrite will suddenly fall into trouble.
