Proverbs 28:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² When the righteous are victorious, there is great glory,
    but when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.

¹³ Whoever hides his transgressions will not succeed,
    but whoever confesses and forsakes them will find mercy.

¹⁴ Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord,^[a]
    but whoever hardens his heart will fall into disaster.
