Context of Proverbs 28:26
24He who robs his father or his mother And says, “There is no wrong done,” Is the companion of a person who destroys. 25An arrogant person stirs up strife, But one who trusts in the Lord will prosper. One 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. 28When the wicked rise, people hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.
