Proverbs 17:10-12

The Message

¹⁰ A quiet rebuke to a person of good sense
    does more than a whack on the head of a fool.

¹¹ Criminals out looking for nothing but trouble
    won’t have to wait long—they’ll meet it coming and going!

¹² Better to meet a grizzly robbed of her cubs
    than a fool hellbent on folly.
