Proverbs 28:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹²When godly people win, everyone is very happy.
But when sinners take charge, everyone hides.

¹³Anyone who hides their sins doesn’t succeed.
But anyone who admits their sins and gives them up finds mercy.

¹⁴Blessed is the one who always trembles in front of God.
But anyone who makes their heart stubborn will get into trouble.

Proverbs 28:12-14

New International Version

¹²When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;^(A)
but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.^(B)

¹³Whoever conceals their sins^(C) does not prosper,
but the one who confesses^(D) and renounces them finds mercy.^(E)

¹⁴Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
