Proverbs 28:13

All About Life

¹² In the exulting of the righteous the glory is abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive. ¹³ Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy. ¹⁴ O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil.
