Proverbs 17:9-11
Lexham English Bible

9 He who forgives an affront fosters love,
    but he who waits on a matter will alienate a friend.
10 A rebuke strikes him who understands
    deeper than one hundred blows to a fool.
11 An evil person will seek only rebellion,
    and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

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.
