Proverbs 28:13-18

Proverbs 28:13-18 NCV

If you hide your sins, you will not succeed. If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy. Those who are always respectful will be happy, but those who are stubborn will get into trouble. A wicked ruler is as dangerous to poor people as a roaring lion or a charging bear. A ruler without wisdom will be cruel, but the one who refuses to take dishonest money will rule a long time. Don’t help those who are guilty of murder; let them run until they die. Innocent people will be kept safe, but those who are dishonest will suddenly be ruined.
