All About Life

¹² When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. ¹³ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but he who confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. ¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
