Proverbs 17:14-16
New Catholic Bible

14 To begin a quarrel is like unleashing a flood;
    so desist before the quarreling begins.
15 Absolving the wicked and condemning the innocent
    are both equally abominable to the Lord.
16 Of what advantage is money in the hands of a fool?
    Can he purchase wisdom if he has no desire to learn?

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

15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent(B)—
    the Lord detests them both.(C)

    when they are not able to understand it?(D)
