Proverbs 28:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² When good people become leaders, everything is great, but when the wicked rise to power, everyone hides.

¹³ Whoever hides their sins will not be successful, but whoever confesses their sins and stops doing wrong will receive mercy.

¹⁴ People who respect others will be blessed, but stubborn people will have plenty of troubles.
