Read in context

Proverbs 28:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

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

13 He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.

14 Blessed is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

16 A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.
