Proverbs 28:22-24
New Catholic Bible

22 The miser is in a hurry to get rich,
    never considering that want may eventually afflict him.[a]
23 Whoever rebukes another[b] will in the end win more thanks
    than one who flatters with his tongue.
24 Anyone who robs his father or mother
    and denies that he has sinned
    is no better than a marauding bandit.
