Proverbs 28:12

All About Life

¹¹ The rich man may be wise in his own opinion; but a discerning, poor man sees through him. 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.
