Proverbs 17:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ A wise person will learn more from a ·warning [rebuke]
than a fool will learn from a hundred lashings.

¹¹ Disobedient ·people look only for trouble [^Lseek only rebellion],
so a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

¹² It is ·better [safer] to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than to meet a fool doing foolish things.
