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 offense promotes love; But he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding Than 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.
