Proverbs 17:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ A wise man will learn more from a warning
    than a foolish person will learn from 100 lashings.

¹¹ A disobedient person is only looking for trouble.
    So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

¹² It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
    than to meet a foolish person doing foolish things.
