Proverbs 28:13-15
Good News Translation
13 You will never succeed in life if you try to hide your sins. Confess them and give them up; then God will show mercy to you.
14 Always obey the Lord and you will be happy. If you are stubborn, you will be ruined.
15 Poor people are helpless against a wicked ruler; he is as dangerous as a growling lion or a prowling bear.

Proverbs 28:13-15
New International Version
13 Whoever conceals their sins(A) does not prosper,
but the one who confesses(B) and renounces them finds mercy.(C)
14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
