Proverbs 28:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Anyone troubled by the guilt of murder
    will seek to escape their guilt by death.
    No one should keep them from it.

¹⁸ Anyone who lives without blame is kept safe.
    But anyone whose path is crooked will fall into the pit.

¹⁹ Those who work their land will have plenty of food.
    But those who chase dreams will be very poor.
