Proverbs 17:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² ¶ It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.

¹³ ¶ Whosoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

¹⁴ ¶ To release the waters (to speak rashly) is the beginning of contention; therefore, leave off strife before it gets started.
