Proverbs 28:12-16

¹²When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

¹³He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

¹⁴Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

¹⁵As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear, So is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

¹⁶The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
