24 Anyone who robs father and motherand says, “So, what’s wrong with that?”is worse than a pirate.
25 A grasping person stirs up trouble,but trust in God brings a sense of well-being.
26 If you think you know it all, you’re a fool for sure;real survivors learn wisdom from others.
27 Be generous to the poor—you’ll never go hungry;shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.
28 When corruption takes over, good people go underground,but when the crooks are thrown out, it’s safe to come out.
