All About Life

¹² When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. ¹³ He who covers his sins shall not be blessed; but whoever confesses and leaves them shall have mercy. ¹⁴ Blessed is the man dreading God, but he who hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
