13 Evil will never leave the house of one who pays back evil for good.
13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
13 If anyone returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.
13 Those who return evil for good will meet their own evil returning.
13 Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.
13 If you repay good with evil, evil will never leave your house.
