Proverbs 29:24-26
EasyEnglish Bible
24 If you help a robber, you are bringing punishment on yourself.
If you tell the truth in court, or if you keep quiet,
you will receive your punishment.[a]
25 If you are afraid of what people think about you,
you will never feel safe.
But if you trust in the Lord,
he will keep you safe.
26 Many people want the king to be their friend.
But only the Lord can give you true justice.
Footnotes
- 29:24 In court, people had to ask God to curse them if they did not tell the truth. So the judge will punish you if you say that you helped a robber. God will punish you if you do not say anything.
