Proverbs 17:9-11
Complete Jewish Bible
9 He who conceals an offense promotes love,
but he who harps on it can separate even close friends.
10 A rebuke makes more impression on a person of understanding
than a hundred blows on a fool.
11 An evil person seeks only rebellion,
but a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
Proverbs 17:9-11
New International Version
Proverbs 17:9-11
New International Version
9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,(A)
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.(B)
10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God;
the messenger of death will be sent against them.
