Proverbs 28:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ Rich people always think they are wise, but a poor person who has insight into character knows better.

¹² When good people come to power, everybody celebrates, but when bad people rule, people stay in hiding.

¹³ You will never succeed in life if you try to hide your sins. Confess them and give them up; then God will show mercy to you.
