Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

¹² When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves. ¹³ He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.
¹⁴ Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
