Proverbs 17:7-11 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

7. Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.

8. The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.

9. He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.

10. A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.

11. An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
