Proverbs 17:9-11

Authorized (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.
