Proverbs 17:9-13

One who conceals an offense seeks love, But one who repeats a matter separates close friends.

A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding Than a hundred blows into a fool.

A rebellious person seeks only evil, So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

Let a person meet a bear robbed of her cubs, Rather than a fool in his foolishness.

One who returns evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.
