Proverbs 28:12-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹² When the righteous triumph,
there is great rejoicing,^[a]
but when the wicked come to power,
people hide themselves.^(A)

¹³ The one who conceals his sins
will not prosper,^(B)
but whoever confesses and renounces them
will find mercy.^(C)

¹⁴ Happy is the one who is always reverent,^(D)
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.^(E)
