Proverbs 17:10-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
10
A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.
11
A rebellious person seeks only evil,
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12
Let a person meet a bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his foolishness.
13
One who returns evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife is
like
letting out water,
So abandon the quarrel before it breaks out.
King James Version
Chapter 17
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.
13
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
10
A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person
more than a hundred lashes into a fool.
11
An evil person desires only rebellion;
a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12
Better for a person to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than a fool in his foolishness.
13
If anyone returns evil for good,
evil will never depart from his house.
14
To start a conflict is to release a flood;
stop the dispute before it breaks out.
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
10
A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.
11
Evil people are eager for rebellion,
but they will be severely punished.
12
It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.
13
If you repay good with evil,
evil will never leave your house.
14
Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
so stop before a dispute breaks out.
English Standard Version
Chapter 17
10

Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs
rather than a fool in his folly.
13

evil will not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
New International Version
Chapter 17
10
A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
11
Evildoers foster rebellion against God;
the messenger of death will be sent against them.
12
Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than a fool bent on folly.
13

of one who pays back evil for good.
14
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

Rather than a fool in his folly.

Evil will not depart from his house.
