Proverbs 17:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend.
    But the one who tells about the sin breaks up friendships.

¹⁰ A wise man will learn more from a warning
    than a foolish person will learn from 100 lashings.

¹¹ A disobedient person is only looking for trouble.
    So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
