Proverbs 28:12-14

New International Version

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

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

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