Proverbs 17:13-15

Modern English Version

¹³ Whoever rewards evil for good,
    evil will not depart from his house.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as when one lets out water;
    therefore abandon contention before a quarrel starts.

¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
    both of them are abomination to the Lord.
