Proverbs 28:12-18
-
12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
-
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
-
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
-
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
-
16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
-
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
-
18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
