Context of Proverbs 28:22
20A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished. 21To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth And does not know that want will come upon him. 23He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor Than he who flatters with the tongue. 24He who robs his father or his mother And says, “It is not a transgression,” Is the companion of a man who destroys.
