Proverbs 17:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ The person who repays good with evil
    will never see^[a] evil leave his home.

¹⁴ Starting a quarrel is like spilling water—
    so drop the dispute before it escalates.

¹⁵ Exonerating the wicked and condemning the righteous
    are both detestable to the Lord.
