Proverbs 17:11-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion,
    and a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs,
    rather than a fool in his folly.
13 If a man returns evil for good,
    evil will not depart from his house.
