Proverbs 17:7-14 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

7. Arrogant speech isn’t fitting for a fool,much less do lying lips fit a prince.

8. A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it;wherever he turns, he prospers.

9. He who covers an offence promotes love;but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.

10. A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understandingthan a hundred lashes into a fool.

11. An evil man seeks only rebellion;therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

12. Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,rather than a fool in his folly.

13. Whoever rewards evil for good,evil shall not depart from his house.

14. The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam,therefore stop contention before quarrelling breaks out.
