Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

¹² When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. ¹³ He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whosoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy. ¹⁴ Happy is the man that is reverent always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into calamity.
