He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whosoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 28:13 Go To Proverbs 28
Jerome
AD 420
“As confession and beauty are in the sight of God,” so a sinner who confesses his sins and says, “My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness” loses his foul wounds and is made whole and clean. But “he that covers his sins shall not prosper.”
