24. Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,”is a partner with a destroyer.
25. One who is greedy stirs up strife;but one who trusts in the Lord will prosper.
26. One who trusts in himself is a fool;but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
27. One who gives to the poor has no lack;but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
