12 Let a (A)person meet a (B)bear robbed of her cubs,Rather than a fool in his foolishness.
12 Like [a]an (A)earring of gold and a (B)jewelry piece of (C)fine gold,Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a (D)listening ear.
17 As iron sharpens iron,So one person sharpens another.
23 One who (A)rebukes a person will afterward find more favorThan one who (B)flatters with the tongue.
