Proverbs 17:9-11
Common English Bible
9 One who seeks love conceals an offense,
but one who repeats it divides friends.
10 A rebuke goes deeper to an understanding person

11 Evil people seek only rebellion;
a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
