Proverbs 28:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Correct someone, and later they will thank you. That is much better than just saying something to be nice.

²⁴ Someone might steal from their parents and say, “I did nothing wrong.” But that person is as bad as an enemy who smashes everything in the house.

²⁵ Greedy people might sue you in court, but those who trust the Lord are rewarded.
