Proverbs 28:23 in the King James Version
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
Context
22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
