Proverbs 28:13-15

New International Version

¹³ Whoever conceals their sins^(A) does not prosper,
    but the one who confesses^(B) and renounces them finds mercy.^(C)

¹⁴ Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
    but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

¹⁵ Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
    is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
