Context Reading
9He who covers an offense promotes love;but he who repeats a matter separates best friends. 10A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understandingthan a hundred lashes into a fool. 11An evil man seeks only rebellion;therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 12Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,rather than a fool in his folly. 13Whoever rewards evil for good,evil shall not depart from his house.
