Proverbs 28:26

PrideWisdomFaith

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.

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.

28 When the wicked come to power, people hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous flourish.
