SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:13

¶ El que da mal por bien, no se apartará el mal de su casa.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 17:13

Verse 13. Whoso rewardeth evil for good ] Here is a most awful warning. As many persons are guilty of the sin of ingratitude, and of paying kindness with unkindness, and good with evil, it is no wonder we find so much wretchedness among men; for God's word cannot fail; evil shall not depart from the houses and families of such persons.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. Whoso rewardeth evil for good , etc.] As the enemies of David and Christ rewarded them, ( Psalm 35:12 109:5); this is base ingratitude, contrary to the law and light of nature; worse than beastly, is really devilish; evil shall not depart from his house ; from him and his family; they shall be continually visited with one disease and calamity or another; so hateful and offensive is the sin of ingratitude to God, and therefore ought to be carefully avoided. This might be illustrated by the judgments of God on the nation of the Jews, for their ingratitude to Christ.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13 - To render evil for good is devilish. He that does so, brings a curs upon his family.
