Proverbs 28:12-14
Contemporary English Version
12 When an honest person wins,
it's time to celebrate;
when crooks are in control,
it's best to hide.
13 If you don't confess your sins,
you will be a failure.
But God will be merciful
if you confess your sins
and give them up.
14 The Lord blesses everyone
who is afraid to do evil,
but if you are cruel,
you will end up in trouble.
Proverbs 28:12-14
New International Version
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;(A)
but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.(B)
13 Whoever conceals their sins(C) does not prosper,
but the one who confesses(D) and renounces them finds mercy.(E)
14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
