Proverbs 17:13-17

¹³When someone returns evil for good, evil will never leave his house.

¹⁴The beginning of conflict is like one who releases water everywhere, so walk away from the dispute before it has broken out.

¹⁵The person who acquits the wicked person and the person who condemns the righteous person— both are an abomination to Yahweh.

¹⁶Why should a fool pay money to learn about wisdom, when he has no ability to learn it?

¹⁷A friend is loving at all times and a brother is born for times of trouble.
