Proverbs 17:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 A reproof entereth more into him that hath understanding, than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11 A seditious person seeketh only evil, and a cruel [a]messenger shall be sent against him.
12 It is better for a man to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than [b]a fool in his folly.
