Proverbs 28:23-28

23 He who rebukes another person in the end gets more thanks than the flatterer.

24 Whoever robs mother or father and says, "That's not a crime!"is comrade to the destroyer.

25 A grasping disposition stirs up strife, but he who trusts in ADONAI will prosper.

26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who lives by wisdom will escape.

27 He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who hides his eyes will get curses in plenty.

28 When the wicked rise up, people hide; but when they perish, the righteous flourish.
