Proverbs 28:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ A ruler who lacks understanding is^[a] a cruel oppressor,
    but those who hate unjust gain will have long^[b] days.
¹⁷ A person who is burdened with the blood of another,^[c]
    until death he will flee;
    do not take hold of him.
¹⁸ He who walks in integrity will be safe,
    but he who takes crooked paths will fall in one.
