PROVERBS 28:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.”
Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder will seek refuge in the grave; let no one support them—a statement that the murderer is condemned to internal torment and should receive no aid, establishing the severity of bloodguilt. The theological significance involves the principle of the inescapability of conscience.
