Proverbs 17:7-14

Contrasts Between Wise and Foolish

Proverbs 17:7-14
7
Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for a noble a lip of falsehood.
8
A stone of grace is the bribe in the eyes of its possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9
Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.
10
Rebuke cometh down on the intelligent More than a hundred stripes on a fool.
11
An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger is sent against him.
12
The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And--not a fool in his folly.
13
Whoso is returning evil for good, Evil moveth not from his house.
14
The beginning of contention is a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.
