Proverbs 17:11

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁰ A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man. ¹¹ An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him. ¹² It is better to come face to face with a bear whose young ones have been taken away than with a foolish man acting foolishly.
