Proverbs 17:8-10

Authorized (King James) Version

⁸ A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:
    whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
    but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

¹⁰ A reproof entereth more into a wise man
    than an hundred stripes into a fool.
