24 Whoever robs his father or his mother,
And says, “It is no transgression,”
The same ^ais companion to a destroyer. ‡

25 ^aHe who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
^bBut he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered. ‡

27 ^aHe who gives to the poor will not lack,
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses. ‡

28 When the wicked arise, ^amen hide themselves;
But when they perish, the righteous increase. ‡
