Proverbs 17:9-11
English Standard Version Anglicised

9 Whoever (A)covers an offence seeks love,
    but he who repeats a matter (B)separates close friends.
10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding
    than a hundred blows into a fool.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion,
    and (C)a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

Proverbs 17:9-11
King James Version

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

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