Proverbs 17:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 17:12

10 ^aRebuke is more effective for a wise man
Than a hundred blows on a fool.

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

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

13 Whoever ^arewards evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water;
Therefore ^astop contention before a quarrel starts.
