Proverbs 17:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ A person might think he can pay people and they will do anything he asks.
    He thinks it will succeed every time.

⁹ Whoever forgives someone’s sin makes a friend.
    But the one who tells about the sin breaks up friendships.

¹⁰ A wise man will learn more from a warning
    than a foolish person will learn from 100 lashings.
