Proverbs 28:12-13
EasyEnglish Bible
12 When righteous people have power,
everybody is happy.
But when wicked people have power,
good people run away to hide.
13 Anyone who hides his sins will never do well.
But God will forgive somebody,
if he agrees that he has done wrong things,
and if he turns away from his sins.
Proverbs 28:12-13
New King James Version
12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great (A)glory;
But when the wicked arise, men [a]hide themselves.
13 (B)He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
