Proverbs 28:23-28

23 Those who correct others will later be liked more than those who give false praise.

24 Whoever robs his father or mother and says, "It's not wrong," is just like someone who destroys things.

25 A greedy person causes trouble, but the one who trusts the Lord will succeed.

26 Those who trust in themselves are foolish, but those who live wisely will be kept safe.

27 Whoever gives to the poor will have everything he needs, but the one who ignores the poor will receive many curses.

28 When the wicked get control, everybody hides, but when they die, good people do well.
