New Testament

Proverbs 28:12-17 New Century Version (NCV)

12. When good people triumph, there is great happiness,but when the wicked get control, everybody hides.

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

14. Those who are always respectful will be happy,but those who are stubborn will get into trouble.

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

16. A ruler without wisdom will be cruel,but the one who refuses to take dishonest money will rule a long time.

17. Don’t help those who are guilty of murder;let them run until they die.
