Proverbs 17:11-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. An evil person will seek only rebellion, and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12. May a man meet a she-bear robbed of offspring and not a fool in his folly.

13. For he who returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.

14. Like the release of water is the beginning of strife; before it breaks out, stop the quarrel.
