Proverbs 28:13-15

Lexham English Bible

¹³ He who conceals his transgression will not prosper,
    but he who confesses and forsakes will obtain mercy.
¹⁴ Happy is the person who fears continuously,
    but he who is stubborn of heart,^[a] will fall into calamity.
¹⁵ Like a roaring lion and a charging bear
    is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
