Context of Proverbs 28:25

23One who rebukes a man will in the end find more favor than one with a flattering tongue. 24Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, “It’s not a crime,” is a partner to him who destroys. A greedy soul stirs up strife, but one who trusts in Adonai prospers. 26Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will escape. 27One who gives to the poor will not lack, but one who shuts his eyes will have many curses.
