New International Version Anglicized

Proverbs 17:12-16 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

12. Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubsthan a fool bent on folly.

13. Evil will never leave the houseof one who pays back evil for good.

14. Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

15. Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent –the Lord detests them both.

16. Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom,when they are not able to understand it?
