Proverbs 28:24

The Message

Anyone who robs father and mother and says, “So, what’s wrong with that?” is worse than a pirate.

See the chapter Copy

Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.

Slack habits and sloppy work are as bad as vandalism.

Kids who lash out against their parents are an embarrassment and disgrace.

Generous hands are blessed hands because they give bread to the poor.

Practice God’s law—get a reputation for wisdom; hang out with a loose crowd—embarrass your family.
