Proverbs 28:22-24

Easy-to-Read Version

²² Selfish people only want to get rich. They do not realize that they are very close to being poor.

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.
