Proverbs 28:11-13
English Standard Version

11 A rich man is wise in his (A)own eyes,
    but a poor man who has understanding (B)will find him out.
12 When (C)the righteous triumph, there is great glory,
    but when (D)the wicked rise, people hide themselves.
13 Whoever (E)conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
    but he who (F)confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

11 The rich person is (A)wise in his own eyes,
But the poor who has understanding [a]sees through him.
12 When the (B)righteous triumph, there is great glory,
But (C)when the wicked rise, people [b]hide themselves.
13 One who (D)conceals his wrongdoings will not prosper,
But one who (E)confesses and abandons them will find compassion.
