Proverbs 28:23-28

23 Those who correct someone will, in the end, find more favor than those with flattering tongues.

24 Those who steal from their father and mother, and say, "It's not a crime," are friends of vandals.

25 Greedy people stir up conflict, but those who trust the LORD become prosperous.

26 Those who trust in their own reasoning are fools, but those who walk in wisdom will be kept safe.

27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who turn a blind eye will be greatly cursed.

28 When the wicked rise up, people hide, but when they are destroyed, the righteous multiply.
