1. Blessed is he who confesses his sins (13-18)

He who conceals his sins will not prosper but he who confesses and turns from them finds mercy. He who fears God always will be blessed but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble. A man who does not repent will be a fugitive tormented by a guilty conscience until death like Cain, but the blameless will be kept safe.

2. He who trusts in the Lord will prosper (19-28)

A hard worker will have abundant food and a faithful man will be richly blessed. Showing partiality is never good. He who rebukes a man will get more favor in the end. We must respect our parents. Trusting the Lord leads to prosperity. He who gives to the poor will lack nothing. When the wicked rise to power, people hide. When the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
