Proverbs 28:17-20
New International Version
17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder
will seek refuge(A) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.
18 The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe,(B)
but the one whose ways are perverse will fall(C) into the pit.[a]
19 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.(D)
20 A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.(E)
