Proverbs 28:16-18
International Standard Version

16 A Commander-in-Chief[a] who is a cruel oppressor lacks understanding,
    but whoever hates unjust gain will live longer.[b]

17 A guilty man tormented by bloodshed
    will be a lifelong fugitive;
        let no one support him.

18 Whoever lives blamelessly will be delivered,
    but whoever is perverted will fall without warning.
