Proverbs 17:12-14
Names of God Bible

12 Better to meet a bear robbed of its cubs
    than a fool carried away with his stupidity.
13 Whoever pays back evil for good—
    evil will never leave his home.
14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
    so stop before the argument gets out of control.
