Proverbs 28:16-18
New Life Version
16 A ruler who takes much from the people who have little does not have understanding. But he who hates wanting something that belongs to someone else will live a long time.
17 A man who is loaded down with the guilt of human blood will run in fear until death. Let no one help him.
18 He who walks without blame will be kept safe, but he who is sinful will fall all at once.

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

will seek refuge(A) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.
