Proverbs 17:10-15 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. A single reprimand does more for a discerning personthan a hundred lashes for a fool.

11. The wicked pursue only rebellion,and a merciless messenger is sent against them.

12. Face a bear robbed of her cubs,but never fools in their folly!

13. If you return evil for good,evil will not depart from your house.

14. The start of strife is like the opening of a dam;check a quarrel before it bursts forth!

15. Whoever acquits the wicked, whoever condemns the just—both are an abomination to the Lord.
