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 6a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet 7a she-bear robbed of her cubs 8rather than a fool in his folly.
13 If anyone 9returns evil for good, 10evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so 11quit before the quarrel breaks out.
15 He who 12justifies the wicked and he who 13condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.
16 Why should a fool have money in his hand 14to buy wisdom when he has no sense?
17 15A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
