Proverbs 28:21-28 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21. It is not good to show partiality —yet a man may sin for a piece of bread.

22. A greedy man is in a hurry for wealth;he doesn’t know that poverty will come to him.

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

24. The one who robs his father or mother and says, “That’s no sin,” is a companion to a man who destroys.

25. A greedy person provokes conflict, but whoever trusts in the Lord will prosper.

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

27. The one who gives to the poorwill not be in need,but one who turns his eyes away will receive many curses.

28. When the wicked come to power,people hide,but when they are destroyed,the righteous flourish.
