Proverbs 17:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.

¹³ He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

¹⁴ The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: before he suffereth reproach he forsaketh judgment.
