Proverbs 17:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ One who forgives an affront fosters friendship,
    but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.
¹⁰ A rebuke strikes deeper into a discerning person
    than a hundred blows into a fool.
¹¹ Evil people seek only rebellion,
    but a cruel messenger will be sent against them.
