Proverbs 28:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ When a ruler lacks understanding, there will be much oppression,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain prolongs his days.
¹⁷ A person haunted by the guilt of bloodshed
    will be a fugitive until he goes down to the pit.
No one should offer him support.
¹⁸ A person who walks with integrity will be saved,
but a person whose ways are crooked will fall all at once.
