Proverbs 28:23

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

Proverbs 28:23 In-Context

21 To have respect of persons is not good, for that man will transgress for a piece of bread.
22 He that hasteneth to be rich hath an evil eye and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favor than he that flattereth with his 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 prosper.
