- He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. - He that hideth hatred with lying lips,
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. - Blessings are upon the head of the just:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. - A talebearer revealeth secrets:
but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. - A fool's wrath is presently known:
but a prudent man covereth shame. - He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
