28:24 The one who robs his father and mother and says , “There is no transgression ,” is a companion to the one who destroys .

28:26 The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool , but the one who walks in wisdom will escape .
28:27 The one who gives to the poor will not lack , but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses .
