Proverbs 28:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ If you hide your sins, you will not succeed.
    If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.

¹⁴ Those who always respect the Lord will be happy.
    But those who are stubborn will get into trouble.

¹⁵ A wicked ruler is as dangerous to poor people
    as a roaring lion or a charging bear.
