Proverbs 17:7-10

7Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.12

8A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.3

9He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.4

10A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.5
