Proverbs 28:23 Context
21To haue respect of persons, is not good: for, for a piece of bread that man will transgresse. 22He that hasteth to bee rich, hath an euill eye, and considereth not that pouerty shall come vpon him. 23He that rebuketh a man, afterwards shall find more fauour, then he that flattereth with the tongue. 24Who so robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, it is no transgression, the same is the companion of a destroyer. 25He that is of a proud heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord, shalbe made fat.
