Proverbs 28:13-16

¹³People who hide their sins won't succeed, but those who confess and renounce their sins will be shown kindness.

¹⁴Blessed are those who always respect the Lord, but those who are stubborn end up in a lot of trouble.

¹⁵A wicked ruler lording it over poor people is like a roaring lion or a charging bear.

¹⁶An unwise ruler thoroughly extorts his people, but one who refuses to profit illegally will live long.
