23Whoever disciplines someone, afterward will find more favor from him than from the one who flatters him with his tongue.
24Whoever robs his father and his mother and says, “That is no sin,” he is the companion of the one who destroys.
25A greedy man stirs up conflict, but the one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
26One who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks in wisdom will keep away from danger.
27The one who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but whoever closes his eyes to them will receive many curses.
28When the wicked arise, people hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
