Proverbs 28:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 28:15

13 ^aHe who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

14 Happy is the man who is always reverent,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

15 ^aLike a roaring lion and a charging bear
^bIs a wicked ruler over poor people.

16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great ^aoppressor,
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

17 ^aA man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;
Let no one help him.
