Proverbs 28:13-15

Modern English Version

¹³ He who covers his sins will not prosper,
    but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

¹⁴ Happy is the man who always fears,
    but he who hardens his heart will fall into mischief.

¹⁵ As a roaring lion and a charging bear,
    so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
