Proverbs 17:11-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11. A rebellious man seeks only evil, So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

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

13. He who returns evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.

14. The beginning of strife is like letting out water, So abandon the quarrel before it breaks out.

15. He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
