Proverbs 17:10 in Context — Proverbs 17

8 O presente é [como] uma pedra preciosa aos olhos de seus donos; para onde quer que se voltar, [tentará] ter algum proveito.

9 Quem perdoa a transgressão busca a amizade; mas quem repete o assunto afasta amigos íntimos.

10 A repreensão entra mais profundamente no prudente do que cem açoites no tolo.

11 Na verdade quem é mal busca somente a rebeldia; mas o mensageiro cruel será enviado contra ele.

12 [É melhor] ao homem encontrar uma ursa roubada [de seus filhotes] ,do que um tolo em sua loucura.
