Proverbs 28:23-28

23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor Than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer.
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; But one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; But one who walks in wisdom, he is kept safe.
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; But one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous thrive.
