Proverbs [Sayings] 28:12-16

¹²When the upright triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

¹³He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever yadah ·extend hands in confession· and forsake renounces them finds racham ·merciful love·.

¹⁴Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

¹⁵As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

¹⁶A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
