Proverbs 28:12

All About Life

¹¹ A rich man is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor man who has discernment sees through him. ¹² When the righteous triumph,
there is great rejoicing,
but when the wicked come to power,
people hide themselves. ¹³ The one who conceals his sins
will not prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them
will find mercy.
