Proverbs 17:15

Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man,

rather than a fool in his folly.

Whoever rewards evil for good,

evil shall not depart from his house.

The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam,

therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.

Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,

since he has no understanding?

A friend loves at all times;

and a brother is born for adversity.

A man void of understanding strikes hands,

and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
