Proverbs 28:13-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³ The one who conceals his sins
will not prosper,^(A)
but whoever confesses and renounces them
will find mercy.^(B)

¹⁴ Happy is the one who is always reverent,^(C)
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.^(D)

¹⁵ A wicked ruler over a helpless people^(E)
is like a roaring lion or a charging bear.^(F)
