Proverbs 17:7-14

Contrasts Between Wise and Foolish

Proverbs 17:7-14
7
Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.
8
The expectation of him that expecteth is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.
9
He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
10
A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
11
An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
12
It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.
13
He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: and before he suffereth reproach, he forsaketh judgment.
