Proverbs 28:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹A rich man may think he is wise.
But a poor man who has understanding knows the rich man is wrong.

¹²When good people win, there is great happiness.
But when the wicked get power, everybody hides.

¹³If you hide your sins, you will not succeed.
If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.

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)
