Proverbs 28

This chapter focuses on the differences between the wicked and the righteous in their relationship with the Law. The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. When the wicked rise to power, men hide themselves. He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely will be delivered. He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
