Proverbs 17:7-14

Contrasts Between Wise and Foolish

Proverbs 17:7-14
7
Eloquent words are unfit for a fool; how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!
8
A bribe is a charm to its giver; wherever he turns, he succeeds.
9
Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but he who brings it up separates friends.
10
A rebuke cuts into a man of discernment deeper than a hundred lashes cut into a fool.
11
An evil man seeks only rebellion; a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12
It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.
13
If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never leave his house.
14
To start a quarrel is to release a flood; so abandon the dispute before it breaks out.
