Proverbs 28:21-23
American Standard Version

21 To have respect of persons is not good;
[a]Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches,
And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor
Than he that flattereth with the tongue.

    and are unaware that poverty awaits them.(D)

23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor
