Proverbs 28:21-28

21 To show partiality is not good— yet for a piece of bread a person may do wrong.
22 The miser is in a hurry to get rich and does not know that loss is sure to come.
23 Whoever rebukes a person will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Anyone who robs father or mother and says, "That is no crime," is partner to a thug.
25 The greedy person stirs up strife, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be enriched.
26 Those who trust in their own wits are fools; but those who walk in wisdom come through safely.
27 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse.
28 When the wicked prevail, people go into hiding; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
