Proverbs 28:21-23
Common English Bible

21 Those who show favoritism aren’t good;
    people do wrong for a crust of bread.
22 The stingy try to get rich fast,
    unaware that loss will come to them.
23 Those who correct someone will, in the end, find more favor
    than those with flattering tongues.
