Proverbs 28:13-15

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 evil.

¹⁵As a roaring lion, and a ravenous bear; so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
