Proverbs 28:13
28:13 The one who covers his transgressions will not prosper,
but whoever confesses them and forsakes them will find mercy.
Ezekiel 18:27-32
18:27 When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will preserve his life.
18:28 Because he considered
and turned from all the sins he had done, he will surely live; he will not die.
18:29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The Lord’s conduct is unjust!’ Is my conduct unjust, O house of Israel? Is it not your conduct that is unjust?
18:30 “Therefore I will judge each person according to his conduct, O house of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord. Repent and turn from all your wickedness; then it will not be an obstacle leading to iniquity.
18:31 Throw away all your sins you have committed and fashion yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why should you die, O house of Israel?
18:32 For I take no delight in the death of anyone, declares the sovereign Lord. Repent and live!
