Proverbs 28:13-15
American Standard Version
13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper;
But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway;
But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into [a]mischief.
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear,
So is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
