Proverbs 17:10

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

A reproof will take hold upon, him understanding more than a hundred, blows the foolish.

See the chapter Copy

The just one shall smite me; a mercy: and he shall admonish me, an oil of the head it shall not decorate my head: for yet my prayer in their evils.

A wise son the instruction of a father: and he. mocking heard not reproof.

The foolish will deride his father's instruction: and he watching reproof will be crafty.

An evil one will seek only contradiction.: and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

He covering transgression seeks love; and he perverting in the word, separates a, friend.

Thou shalt strike him mocking, and the simple will be crafty: and reprove to him understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

If thou shalt pound the foolish in a mortar in the midst of the grain with a pestle, thou shalt not remove from him his folly.

A servant will not be corrected by words: for he will understand and not answer.

I, if as many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be emulous therefore, and repent.
