more than a hundred lashes a fool.

the messenger of death will be sent against them.
Proverbs 17:10-11
King James Version
10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

Proverbs 25:2-7
New International Version
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings.(A)
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,
and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,(B)
and his throne will be established(C) through righteousness.(D)
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(E)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
What you have seen with your eyes
Proverbs 25:2-7
King James Version
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
