“One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favorthan one who flatters with the tongue.”
Proverbs 28:23 (WEB)
Context Reading
21To show partiality is not good,yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. 22A stingy man hurries after riches,and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him. 23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favorthan one who flatters with the tongue. 24Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,”is a partner with a destroyer. 25One who is greedy stirs up strife;but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
