Proverbs 17:8-13

⁸A rewarde is as a stone pleasant in the eyes of them that haue it: it prospereth, whithersoeuer it turneth.

⁹Hee that couereth a transgression, seeketh loue: but hee that repeateth a matter, separateth the prince.

¹⁰A reproofe entereth more into him that hath vnderstanding, then an hundreth stripes into a foole.

¹¹A sedicious person seeketh onely euill, and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

¹²It is better for a man to meete a beare robbed of her whelpes, then a foole in his follie.

¹³He that rewardeth euil for good, euil shall not depart from his house.
