Proverbs 17:12 Context
10A reproofe entreth more into a wise man, then an hundred stripes into a foole. 11An euill man seeketh onely rebellion; therefore a cruell messenger shall be sent against him. 12Let a beare robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather then a foole in his folly. 13Whoso rewardeth euill for good, euill shall not depart from his house. 14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therfore leaue off contention, before it be medled with.
