Proverbs 28:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁶ A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor;
    but one who hates unjust gain will enjoy a long life.
¹⁷ If someone is burdened with the blood of another,
    let that killer be a fugitive until death;
    let no one offer assistance.
¹⁸ One who walks in integrity will be safe,
    but whoever follows crooked ways will fall into the Pit.^[a]
