Proverbs 28:22-28 Modern English Version (MEV)

22. He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye,and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.

23. He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterwardthan he who flatters with the tongue.

24. Whoever robs his father or his motherand says, “It is no transgression,”the same is the companion of a destroyer.

25. He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,but he who puts his trust in the Lord will prosper.

26. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,but whoever walks wisely will be delivered.

27. He who gives to the poor will not lack,but he who hides his eyes will have many a curse.

28. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;but when they perish, the righteous increase.
