Proverbs 28:17


Proverbs 28:16 Proverbs 28:17 (KJV) Proverbs 28:18
The prince that wanteth understanding [is] also a great oppressor: [but] he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.
A man that doeth violence to the blood of [any] person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but [he that is] perverse [in his] ways shall fall at once.
