Proverbs 28:16-18
21st Century King James Version
16 The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor, but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved, but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once!

but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.
