Proverbs 28:22-28

22 He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye and does not consider that poverty shall come upon him.

23 He that rebukes a man, afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.

24 Whosoever robs his father or his mother and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of the destroyer.

25 He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

26 He that trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whosoever walks in wisdom, he shall be saved.

27 He that gives unto the poor shall never lack, but he that hides his eyes from the poor shall have many a curse.

28 When the wicked rise, sane men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous multiply.
