Proverbs 28:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

²² Greedy people hurry to become rich.
    They do not know that they will soon be poor.
²³ If you warn someone that he has done a wrong thing,
    he will thank you in the end.
He will like you more than if you only say sweet words to him.
²⁴ If anyone cheats his parents,
    he may say that he has done nothing wrong.
But a person like that is as bad as a robber.
