Proverbs 28:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ A person who conceals his sins will not prosper,
but one who confesses and abandons them will receive mercy.
¹⁴ Blessed is the person who always is afraid of sin,
but one who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
¹⁵ A wicked ruler over a poor people
    is a growling lion or a charging bear.
