Proverbs 28:17-19
Contemporary English Version

17 Don't give help to murderers!
Make them stay on the run
    for as long as they live.[a]

18 Honesty will keep you safe,
but everyone who is crooked
    will suddenly fall.
19 Work hard, and you will have
    a lot of food;
waste time, and you will have
    a lot of trouble.
