Proverbs 17:9-11
International Children’s Bible
9 Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend.
But the one who tells about the sin breaks up friendships.
10 A wise man will learn more from a warning
than a foolish person will learn from 100 lashings.
11 A disobedient person is only looking for trouble.
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
Proverbs 17:9-11
New International Version
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.
