Proverbs 17:11-13
Legacy Standard Bible
11 A rebellious man seeks only evil,
So a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
12 Let a (A)man meet a (B)bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his folly.
13 He who (C)returns evil for good,
(D)Evil will 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)
