Proverbs 17:8-10
GOD’S WORD Translation

8 A bribe seems ⌞like⌟ a jewel to the one who gives it.[a]
Wherever he turns, he prospers.
9 Whoever forgives an offense seeks love,
but whoever keeps bringing up the issue separates the closest of friends.

10 A reprimand impresses a person who has understanding
more than a hundred lashes impress a fool.
