19 Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it takes the lives of those who receive it. Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.
