Proverbs 28:17-20

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)

²⁰A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.^(E)

Proverbs 28:17-20

King James Version

¹⁷A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

¹⁸Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

¹⁹He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

²⁰A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

¹⁷^(A)A man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;
Let no one help him.

¹⁸Whoever walks blamelessly will be ^[a]saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.

¹⁹^(B)He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!

²⁰A faithful man will abound with blessings,
^(C)But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
