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