Proverbs 28:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.

¹⁷A man laden with the blood of [any] person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.

¹⁸Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in [his] double ways, shall fall in one [of them].

Proverbs 28:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶A tyrannical ruler practices extortion,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.

¹⁷Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder
will seek refuge^(A) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.

¹⁸The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe,^(B)
but the one whose ways are perverse will fall^(C) into the pit.^[a]
