Proverbs 28:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ A prince without understanding is a cruel oppressor,
    but one who hates unjust gain will live long.
¹⁷ If someone feels guilty about murder,
    don’t hold them back from fleeing to the pit.
¹⁸ Those who walk in innocence will be saved,
    but those who go on twisted paths will fall into the grave.
