Proverbs 17:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴ Picking a fight is like leaking water from a crack in a dam,
    so walk away from an argument before the outburst.
¹⁵ Both of these deeply offend the Eternal:
    one who acquits the guilty and one who condemns the innocent.
¹⁶ Even if fools had the means to obtain wisdom,
    they would not be able to benefit from it.
