Proverbs 17:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ Evil will not depart from the house
    of one who returns evil for good.
¹⁴ The beginning of strife is like letting out water;
    so stop before the quarrel breaks out.
¹⁵ One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous
    are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
