Proverbs 28:13-15

Amplified Bible

¹³
He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and ^[a]turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy.^(A)
¹⁴
Blessed and favored by God is the man who fears [sin and its consequence] at all times,
But he who hardens his heart [and is determined to sin] will fall into disaster.
¹⁵
Like a roaring lion and a charging bear
Is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
