Proverbs 17:9-11
Amplified Bible

9 
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love,
But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.
10 
A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit
Than a hundred lashes into a fool.(A)
11 
A rebellious man seeks only evil;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

Proverbs 17:9-11
New International Version

9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,(A)
    but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.(B)

10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person
    more than a hundred lashes a fool.

11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God;
    the messenger of death will be sent against them.
