Proverbs 17:11 (BSB)
Context Reading
9Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but he who brings it up separates friends. 10A rebuke cuts into a man of discernment deeper than a hundred lashes cut into a fool. 11An evil man seeks only rebellion; a cruel messenger will be sent against him. 12It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly. 13If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never leave his house.
