Proverbs 28:13-20

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.

¹⁶The prince that is void of understanding is also a great oppressor; but he that hateth unjust gain will prolong his days.

¹⁷A man oppressed by the load of having shed human blood will flee even to the pit: let no man hold him.

¹⁸Whoso walketh in integrity will be saved; but he that walketh perversely on two paths, will fall on one.

¹⁹He that tilleth his ground will have plenty of bread; but he that runneth after idle persons will have enough of poverty.

²⁰A faithful man will abound with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
