Proverbs 17:12-14

21st Century King James Version

¹² Let a man meet a bear robbed of her whelps, rather than a fool in his folly.

¹³ Whoso returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is like the letting out of water: therefore break off contention before it is meddled with.
