Who wrote those sentences? If you didn't write them yourself, you must provide the source (title of book/piece/website and name(s) of the author(s)).

Sorry.

I wrote them myself. The idea is: What good/bad consequence will your confession have?

 

[emsr2d2]

"What good will ... do?" is grammatically correct and commonly used. We don't use "What bad ...". Not every phrase has an exact opposite.

You could replace “bad” with “harm”.

However, we typically use the set phrase “What harm can come from X?” as a kind of rhetorical expression to mean something like “It can’t hurt to try.”

I suppose you could use it in a literal sense though, in the right context.
