Proverbs 17:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 He who (A)conceals a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter (B)separates intimate friends.
10 A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.
11 A rebellious man seeks only evil,
So 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.
