Proverbs 28:17

All About Life

¹⁶ A leader who lacks understanding
is very oppressive,
but one who hates dishonest profit
prolongs his life. ¹⁷ A man burdened by bloodguilt
will be a fugitive until death.
Let no one help him. ¹⁸ The one who lives with integrity will be helped,
but one who distorts right and wrong
will suddenly fall.
