Proverbs 17:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ It is difficult to stop a quarrel once it has started.
    It is like water that pours out of a broken pot. Stop it quickly!
¹⁵ If a judge says that a guilty person is not guilty,
    the Lord hates it.
If a judge punishes someone who is not guilty,
    the Lord hates that too.
¹⁶ Money does not help a foolish person,
    because he does not want to become wise.
