Proverbs 28:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷A murderer’s tormented conscience will drive him into the grave.
Don’t protect him!

¹⁸The blameless will be rescued from harm,
but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed.

¹⁹A hard worker has plenty of food,
but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.

Proverbs 28:17-19

New International Version

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]

¹⁹Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.^(D)
