Proverbs 28:13-17

¹³He that covers his own ungodliness shall not prosper: but he that blames himself shall be loved.

¹⁴Blessed is the man who religiously fears always: but the hard of heart shall fall into mischiefs.

¹⁵A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf is he, who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.

¹⁶A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor: but he that hates injustice shall live a long time.

¹⁷He that becomes surety for a man charged with murder shall be an exile, and not in safety. Chasten your son, and he shall love you, and give honour to your soul: he shall not obey a sinful nation.
