Proverbs 17:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² Do not go near a fool who is doing stupid things.
    It would be safer to meet a mother bear who has lost her babies.
¹³ If people are kind to you, do not do evil things in return.
    Anyone who does that will always have trouble in his home.
¹⁴ It is difficult to stop a quarrel once it has started.
    It is like water that pours out of a broken pot. Stop it quickly!
