One
who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
Context
Proverbs 28 [20.] A faithful man is rich with blessings;
but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
To show partiality is not good;
yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
A stingy man hurries after riches,
and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor
than one who flatters with the tongue.
Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, “It’s not wrong.”
He is a partner with a destroyer.
Proverbs 28 [25.] One who is greedy stirs up strife;
but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
One who trusts in himself is a fool;
but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
One who gives to the poor has no lack;
but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;
but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
