Proverbs 17:12-14
Christian Standard Bible

12 Better for a person to meet a bear robbed of her cubs(A)
than a fool in his foolishness.

13 If anyone returns evil for good,(B)
evil will never depart from his house.(C)

14 To start a conflict is to release a flood;
stop the dispute before it breaks out.(D)
