Context of Proverbs 28:12
10Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good. 11The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. 13He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. 14Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
