Proverbs 28:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated 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.(A)
18 One who walks in integrity will be safe,
but whoever follows crooked ways will fall into the Pit.[a](B)
