Proverbs 17:8-10

21st Century 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 good friends.

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