23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor
rather than one who has a flattering tongue.
Proverbs Club Commentary
A warranted reprimand should be appreciated, eventually.
Flattery is temporary and not beneficial.

25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family
and to nourish your female servants.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Do all the tasks that must be done,
and those in your home will eat heartily.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
Proverbs Club Commentary
To conceal a matter, like our sin,
is for God to hide it.
To reveal a matter, like the Gospel,
is for the Righteous to announce it.
