Proverbs 17:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Disobedient ·people look only for trouble [^Lseek only rebellion],
so a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

¹² It is ·better [safer] to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than to meet a fool doing foolish things.

¹³ Whoever gives evil in return for good
will always have trouble at home.
