Proverbs 17:8-10
International Children’s Bible
8 A person might think he can pay people and they will do anything he asks.
He thinks it will succeed every time.
9 Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend.
But the one who tells about the sin breaks up friendships.
10 A wise man will learn more from a warning
than a foolish person will learn from 100 lashings.

10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
