Proverbs 28:13-15

World English Bible

¹³ He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper,
    but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
¹⁴ Blessed is the man who always fears;
    but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
¹⁵ As a roaring lion or a charging bear,
    so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
