Proverbs
King James Version (KJV)

Now viewing scripture range from the book of Proverbs chapter 17:9 through chapter 17:12...
10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
