Proverbs 17:11-13
New Catholic Bible

11 A wicked man is only interested in fomenting rebellion;
    hence a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 It is better to come upon a bear robbed of her cubs
    rather than confronting a fool in his folly.
13 One who returns evil for good
    will forever have misfortune in his house.
