Proverbs 17:13-15

World English Bible

¹³ Whoever rewards evil for good,
    evil shall not depart from his house.
¹⁴ The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam,
    therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous,
    both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
