Proverbs 17:13-17

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

¹⁴The beginning of a quarrel is like the first leak in a water dam, so drop it before a major argument bursts out.

¹⁵The Lord hates it when the wicked are acquitted and the innocent condemned.

¹⁶Is there any point in stupid people trying to buy wisdom when they don't want to learn?

¹⁷A true friend is always there to love you, and family provides help when troubles come.
