The First Book of Clement
1Clem

[13]Whoever rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. [No book]
[14]The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore withdraw from contention, before it be meddled with. [No book]
[15]He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. [No book]
[16]Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? [No book]

[20]He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. [No book]
[21]He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. [No book]
