“He who rebukes a man will later find more favor than one who flatters with his tongue.”
Proverbs 28:23 (BSB)
Context Reading
21To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. 22A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty awaits him. 23He who rebukes a man will later find more favor than one who flatters with his tongue. 24He who robs his father or mother, saying, “It is not wrong,” is a companion to the man who destroys. 25A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
