Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

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. ¹⁴ Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.
