Proverbs 17:12-14

American Standard 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 there is quarrelling.
