Proverbs 28:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty awaits him.

23 He who rebukes a man will later find more favor than one who flatters with his tongue.

24 He who robs his father or mother, saying, “It is not wrong,” is a companion to the man who destroys.

25 A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.

26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.
