Proverbs 28:13
Today we are going to continue in our study on "God's Wisdom For Life's Decisions." The book of Proverbs is a how-to book. And today we are going to talk about "How To Be Prosperous."

His wealth was untold. In today's terms it would be in the many hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. He was a wealthy, wealthy man who led Israel to be the most prosperous nation on the face of the earth at that time.

And this is a Proverb of contrast. The second line of the verse is in contrast to the first. He who conceals his sin or covers up his sin does not prosper, but in opposite to that, a pe ...
