Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

¹² When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves. ¹³ He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. ¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.
