Verse 13 says something that we do not like to hear. “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”
We like to hide our sins; we even try to hide them from God. This verse is saying instead of hiding our sins, we need to confess them, say that they are wrong, and not do them any more.
This is a harder way to live, since in and of ourselves we would like to assign blame and make excuses. However, this verse says we will be shown mercy if we confess and forsake our sins, but bad things will happen if we dont.
