20:017:009 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
20:017:010 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
20:017:011 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
20:017:012 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
20:017:013 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
20:017:014 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
20:017:015 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
20:017:016 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
20:017:017 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
20:017:018 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
