And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
