Proverbs 17:8-10

⁸The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.

⁹He that concealeth a transgression. seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.

¹⁰A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
