Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

¹² When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. ¹³ He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. ¹⁴ Blessed is the man who is always reverent; but the one who hardens his heart will fall into evil.
