Proverbs 28:23


← Proverbs 28:22 Proverbs 28:23 (KJV) Proverbs 28:24 →
He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
