One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue. Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer. One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper. One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe. One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
