Proverbs 17:8-10

Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ A ^(A)bribe is a ^[a]charm in the eyes of its owner;
Wherever he turns, he prospers.
⁹ He who ^(B)covers a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter ^(C)separates close companions.
¹⁰ A rebuke goes deeper into one who understands
Than a hundred blows into a fool.
