Proverbs 17:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Whoever gives evil in return for good
will always have trouble at home.

¹⁴ Starting a quarrel is like ·a leak in a dam [^Lletting out water],
so ·stop it [hold back an accusation] before a fight breaks out.

¹⁵ The Lord hates both of these things:
·freeing the guilty and punishing the innocent [^Ljudging the righteous wicked and the wicked righteous].
