Proverbs 28:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶¶ The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor, but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.

¹⁷¶ A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee all the way to the grave, and no one shall sustain him.

¹⁸¶ Whosoever walks in integrity shall be saved, but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall into 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]
