Proverbs 17:13-15

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹³ A person who repays evil for good—
evil will never leave his house.
¹⁴ Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
so stop the dispute before it gets started.
¹⁵ Acquitting a guilty person
and convicting an innocent person—
both of these are disgusting^[a] to the Lord.
