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 mischief.

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