Compare all
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that apoverty will come upon him. 
23 aHe who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
Than he who flatters with the tongue. 
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. 
26 He who atrusts in his own heart is a fool,
But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
