Proverbs 28:11-13
New Catholic Bible

11 The rich man may believe he is wise,
    but the poor man with discernment will see through him.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is a great celebration,
    but when the wicked prevail, the people go into hiding.
13 No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper,
    but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy.[a]
