Proverbs 14:15-16 is both a chiasm and a parallelism contrasting the fool with the wise, foolish behavior with wise behavior.
..V15 - The gullible believe everything
......The prudent watch their step
......V16 - The wise are cautious and avoid evil
..The fool carelessly trespasses

Cursed be the cheat who has a male in his flock, and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For I am a great King, says YHWH of hosts, and my name will be feared among the nations.
Malachi 1:14
To leave a vow to God unfulfilled is to invite a curse upon yourself.
Although the actual word victim is not used in the original language of the Old Testament (despite some translations) the description is someone who had sin committed against them. Able was a victim of murder Genesis 4:8, “Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.” We should notice that the emphasis is not on Able the “victim” but on the sinner and the sin.
