Proverbs 28:13-15

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

¹⁴Happy is the man that always dreadeth to do evil; but he that hardeneth his heart will fall into unhappiness.

¹⁵As a roaring lion, and a greedy bear, so is a wicked ruler over an indigent people.
