Proverbs 17:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Evil will never depart from the house
    of those who return evil for good.
¹⁴ The start of a quarrel is like letting out water,
    so drop the dispute before it breaks out.
¹⁵ Judging the righteous wicked and the wicked righteous—
    the Lord detests both of these.
