Proverbs 17:10 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

10A rebuke impresses a discerning person

more than a hundred lashes a fool.

10A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding

Than a hundred blows into a fool.

10A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding

Than a hundred blows into a fool.

10A reprimand goes deeper into one who has understanding and a teachable spirit

Than a hundred lashes into a fool. [Is 32:6]

10A rebuke cuts into a man of discernment

deeper than a hundred lashes cut into a fool.

10A person who understands what is right learns more from just a warning

than a foolish person learns from 100 strokes with a whip.
