Proverbs 28:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.

¹⁴ Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.

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