Proverbs 17:10-15
New King James Version
10 (A)Rebuke is more effective for a wise man
Than a hundred blows on a fool.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet (B)a bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoever (C)rewards evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water;
Therefore (D)stop contention before a quarrel starts.
15 (E)He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
משלי 17:10-15
The Westminster Leningrad Codex
10 תֵּ֣חַת גְּעָרָ֣ה בְמֵבִ֑ין מֵהַכּ֖וֹת כְּסִ֣יל מֵאָֽה׃
11 אַךְ־מְרִ֥י יְבַקֶּשׁ־רָ֑ע וּמַלְאָ֥ךְ אַ֝כְזָרִ֗י יְשֻׁלַּח־בּֽוֹ׃
12 פָּג֬וֹשׁ דֹּ֣ב שַׁכּ֣וּל בְּאִ֑ישׁ וְאַל־כְּ֝סִ֗יל בְּאִוַּלְתּֽוֹ׃
13 מֵשִׁ֣יב רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה ׳לֹא־תָמִישׁ׳ ״לֹא־תָמ֥וּשׁ״ רָ֝עָ֗ה מִבֵּיתֽוֹ׃
14 פּ֣וֹטֵֽר מַ֭יִם רֵאשִׁ֣ית מָד֑וֹן וְלִפְנֵ֥י הִ֝תְגַּלַּ֗ע הָרִ֥יב נְטֽוֹשׁ׃
15 מַצְדִּ֣יק רָ֭שָׁע וּמַרְשִׁ֣יעַ צַדִּ֑יק תּוֹעֲבַ֥ת יְ֝הוָ֗ה גַּם־שְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃

Proverbs 17:10-15
New American Standard Bible
10 A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.
11 A rebellious person seeks only evil,
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a (A)person meet a (B)bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his foolishness.
13 One who (C)returns evil for good,
(D)Evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
So (E)abandon the quarrel before it breaks out.
15 One who (F)justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
