Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

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. ¹⁴ Happy is the one who is always reverent,
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
