Proverbs 28:13

¹¹ A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man with discernment sees through him.

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

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
