Proverbs 17:11-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

11. Evil people are eager for rebellion,but they will be severely punished.

12. It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubsthan to confront a fool caught in foolishness.

13. If you repay good with evil,evil will never leave your house.

14. Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,so stop before a dispute breaks out.
