Proverbs 28:23-25

New Life Version

²³ He who speaks strong words to a man will later find more favor than he who gives false respect with his tongue.

²⁴ He who robs his father or his mother, and says, “It is not a sin,” is the friend of a man who destroys.

²⁵ A proud man starts fights, but all will go well for the man who trusts in the Lord.
