Proverbs 28:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 A (A)leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding,
But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
17 A man who is (B)laden with the guilt of human blood
Will [a]be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.
18 He who walks blamelessly will be delivered,
But he who is [b](C)crooked will fall all at once.
