Proverbs 28:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ The prince who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor,
    but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

¹⁷ A man burdened with bloodshed of any person
    will flee until death;
    let no man help him.

¹⁸ Whoever walks uprightly will be saved,
    but he who is perverse in his ways will fall at once.
