9 (A)Do not speak in the [a]hearing of a fool,For he will (B)despise the wisdom of your words.
12 Like [a]an (A)earring of gold and an (B)ornament of (C)fine goldIs a wise reprover to a (D)listening ear.
5 Better is (A)open rebukeThan love that is concealed.6 Faithful are the (B)wounds of a friend,But [a]deceitful are the (C)kisses of an enemy.
17 Iron sharpens iron,So one man sharpens another.
29 A man who hardens his neck after (A)much reproofWill (B)suddenly be broken [a]beyond remedy.
