Context of Proverbs 28:25

23He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. 24Whoso robbeth his father and his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer. He that is puffed up in soul exciteth contention; but he that relieth upon Jehovah shall be made fat. 26He that confideth in his own heart is a fool; but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that withdraweth his eyes shall have many a curse.
