11 An evil man seeks only rebellion,
    and (A)a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet (B)a she-bear robbed of her cubs
    (C)rather than a fool in his folly.

    (E)evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
    so (F)quit before the quarrel breaks out.
15 He who (G)justifies the wicked and he who (H)condemns the righteous

    when he has no sense?
