Proverbs 28:12

All About Life

¹¹ The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him. ¹² When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen. ¹³ He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.
