Proverbs 17:9 DBY

⁷  Excellent speech becometh not a vile [man]; how much less do lying lips a noble!

⁸  A gift is a precious stone in the eyes of the possessor: whithersoever it turneth it prospereth.

⁹  He that covereth transgression seeketh love; but he that bringeth a matter up again separateth very friends.

¹⁰  A reproof entereth more deeply into him that hath understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.

¹¹  An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion; but a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
