Proverbs 17:11-13
Authorized (King James) Version
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion:
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,
rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good,
evil shall not depart from his house.
Proverbs 17:11-13
New International Version
11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God;
the messenger of death will be sent against them.
12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than a fool bent on folly.(A)
