Proverbs
Chapters 28:22-28
New International Version Anglicized
22The stingy are eager to get richand are unaware that poverty awaits them.
23Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favourrather than one who has a flattering tongue.
24Whoever robs their father or motherand says, ‘It’s not wrong,’is partner to one who destroys.
25The greedy stir up conflict,but those who trust in the Lord will prosper.
26Those who trust in themselves are fools,but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.
27Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.
28When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding;but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
