Proverbs 17:11-13
Names of God Bible

11 A rebel looks for nothing but evil.
    Therefore, a cruel messenger will be sent to punish him.
12 Better to meet a bear robbed of its cubs
    than a fool carried away with his stupidity.
13 Whoever pays back evil for good—
    evil will never leave his home.
