Proverbs 17:12-14

Darby Translation

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 contention is [as] when one letteth out water; therefore leave off strife before it become vehement.
