The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
A king who judges the poor with fairness—
his throne will be established forever.

Concealer

Proverbs 28:13 (HCSB): The one who conceals his sins
will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them
will find mercy.

The truth hurts

There’s a saying, “The truth hurts.” It does, but not as much as being lied to.

Proverbs 27:5–6 (HCSB):
 5 Better an open reprimand
than concealed love.
6 The wounds of a friend are trustworthy,
but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.

Proverbs 22:11 (HCSB): The one who loves a pure heart
and gracious lips—the king is his friend.

favor is better than silver and gold.

but knowledgeable lips are a rare treasure.
