Proverbs 17:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 17:13

Compare all

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ^aa bear robbed of her cubs,
Rather than a fool in his folly.

13 Whoever ^arewards evil for good,
Evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water;
Therefore ^astop contention before a quarrel starts.

15 ^aHe who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
