Proverbs 28:12-19

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

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

¹⁴Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.

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

¹⁶The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

¹⁷A man laden with the blood of any person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.

¹⁸Whoso walketh in integrity shall be saved; but he that is perverted in his double ways, shall fall in one of them.

¹⁹He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless shall have poverty enough.
