Exegesis
The negative particle lo {לֹא | lō} negates the Hiphil imperfect yatsliakh {יַצְלִיחַ | yaṣ-lî-aḥ} ‘will succeed’, underscoring the impossibility of concealment leading to success.
In context — Proverbs 28:13
The one who covers his transgressions will not succeed, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will receive mercy .
