Context of Proverbs 28:25

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. An arrogant man stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will prosper. 26He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely will be delivered. 27He who gives to the poor will never want, But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.
