Proverbs 17:11

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁰
A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit
Than a hundred lashes into a fool.
¹¹ 
A rebellious man seeks only evil;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
¹²
Let a man meet a [ferocious] bear robbed of her cubs
Rather than the [angry, narcissistic] fool in his folly.
