Proverbs 28:23-28

23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith , It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer * .

25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat .

26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered .

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

28 When the wicked rise , men hide themselves: but when they perish , the righteous increase .
