Proverbs 17:7-14

Contrasts Between Wise and Foolish

Proverbs 17:7-14
7
Hie talke becommeth not a foole, much lesse a lying talke a prince.
8
A rewarde is as a stone pleasant in the eyes of them that haue it: it prospereth, whithersoeuer it turneth.
9
Hee that couereth a transgression, seeketh loue: but hee that repeateth a matter, separateth the prince.
10
A reproofe entereth more into him that hath vnderstanding, then an hundreth stripes into a foole.
11
A sedicious person seeketh onely euill, and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12
It is better for a man to meete a beare robbed of her whelpes, then a foole in his follie.
13
He that rewardeth euil for good, euil shall not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife is as one that openeth the waters: therefore or the contention be medled with, leaue off.
