Proverbs 28:13-15

¹³He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.

¹⁴Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.

¹⁵As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.
