Scriptures to counteract triangulation from the NIV 1984 translation:
He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favor than he who has a flattering tongue.
Proverbs 28:23
Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt.
Leviticus 19:17
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5: 23-24
If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you.
Matthew 18:15
12:40
The scripture I’m referring to is this one:
Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.
Proverbs 11:14 NLT
