8 1A bribe is like a magic stone in the eyes of the one who gives it; wherever he turns he prospers.
9 Whoever 2covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter 3separates close friends.
10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and 4a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet 5a she-bear robbed of her cubs 6rather than a fool in his folly.
13 If anyone 7returns evil for good, 8evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so 9quit before the quarrel breaks out.
15 He who 10justifies the wicked and he who 11condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.
16 Why should a fool have money in his hand 12to buy wisdom when he has no sense?
17 13A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.
