Context of Proverbs 28:25

23One who rebukes a person will afterward find more favor Than one who flatters with the tongue. 24He who robs his father or his mother And says, “There is no wrong done,” Is the companion of a person who destroys. An arrogant person stirs up strife, But one who trusts in the Lord will prosper. 26One who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But one who walks wisely will flee to safety. 27One who gives to the poor will never lack anything, But one who shuts his eyes will have many curses.
