Proverbs 28:25

FaithConflict and reconciliationPrideMoney and wealth

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.

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.

27 Whoever gives to the poor will not be in need, but he who hides his eyes will receive many curses.
