Proverbs 17:12-14

Authorized (King James) Version

¹² Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,
    rather than a fool in his folly.

¹³ Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
    evil shall not depart from his house.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:
    therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
