Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

¹² When righteous people rejoice, there is great glory, but when wicked people 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 man reverencing God. He who hardens his heart will fall into trouble.
