17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder

will seek refuge in the grave;

let no one hold them back.

18 The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe,

but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.

17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person

Shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved:

But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

17 A murderer’s tormented conscience will drive him into the grave.

Don’t protect him!

18 The blameless will be rescued from harm,

but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed.

17 A man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;

Let no one help him.

18 Whoever walks blamelessly will be saved,

But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.

17 Don’t help those who are guilty of murder;

let them run until they die.

18 Innocent people will be kept safe,

but those who are dishonest will suddenly be ruined.

17 A man that is laden with the blood of any person

Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.

18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered;

But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

17 A man laden with the blood of any person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.

18 Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in his double ways, shall fall in one of them.

17 A person burdened with the guilt of murder 

will be a fugitive down to his grave. 

No one will help him. 

18 Whoever lives honestly will be safe. 

Whoever lives dishonestly will fall all at once. 

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.

17 If someone is burdened with the blood of another,

let that killer be a fugitive until death;

let no one offer assistance.

18 One who walks in integrity will be safe,

but whoever follows crooked ways will fall into the Pit.

17 A person who is burdened with the blood of another,

until death he will flee;

do not take hold of him.

18 He who walks in integrity will be safe,

but he who takes crooked paths will fall in one.

17 A man who is troubled because he is guilty of murder

will be on the run until the day he dies.

No one should give him any help.

18 Anyone who lives without blame is kept safe.

But anyone whose path is crooked will suddenly fall.

17 A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood

Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.

18 He who walks blamelessly will be delivered,

But he who is crooked will fall all at once.
