Proverbs 28:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory;
    but when the wicked rise, a man hides himself.

¹³ He who covers his sins will not prosper,
    but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

¹⁴ Happy is the man who always fears,
    but he who hardens his heart will fall into mischief.
