Context of Proverbs 28:25

23If you warn someone that he has done a wrong thing, he will thank you in the end. He will like you more than if you only say sweet words to him. 24If anyone cheats his parents, he may say that he has done nothing wrong. But a person like that is as bad as a robber. Greedy people cause a lot of trouble. But someone who trusts the Lord will enjoy many good things. 26If you trust your own thoughts, you are a fool. But if you live in a wise way, you will be safe from danger. 27If you give things to poor people, you will still have enough for yourself. But everyone will curse you if you refuse to help poor people.
