Proverbs 28:23

²¹ To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

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

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
