¹² Let a man meet a bear robbed of her whelps, rather than a fool in his folly.

¹² As an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

¹⁷ Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

²³ He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favor than he that flattereth with his tongue.
