23

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

24

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

    “He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer. He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase. ”

    “A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn't know that poverty waits for him. One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue. Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It's not wrong." He is a partner with a destroyer. One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper. One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe. One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.”

  • NET

    “The stingy person hastens after riches and does not know that poverty will overtake him. The one who reproves another will in the end find more favor than the one who flatters with the tongue. The one who robs his father and mother and says,“There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys. The greedy person stirs up dissension, but the one who trusts in the LORD will prosper. The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will escape. The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses. When the wicked gain control, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.”

  • DRB

    “A man that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him. He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer. He that boasteth and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed. He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved. He that giveth to the poor shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence. When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the just shall be multiplied. ”

  • BBE

    “He who is ever desiring wealth goes running after money, and does not see that need will come on him. He who says words of protest to a man will later have more approval than one who says smooth words with his tongue. He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life. He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat. He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe. He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them. When evil-doers are lifted up, men take cover; but when destruction overtakes them, the upright are increased.”
