Proverbs 28:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ Anyone who hides his sins will never do well.
But God will forgive somebody,
    if he agrees that he has done wrong things,
    and if he turns away from his sins.
¹⁴ If you are afraid to do wrong things, God will bless you.
    But trouble will happen to anyone who refuses to obey.
¹⁵ A wicked ruler brings danger to poor people.
    He is as dangerous as an angry lion or a hungry bear.
