Proverbs 17:12

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, Rather than a fool in his folly.

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, Rather than a fool in his folly.

The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And -- not a fool in his folly.

It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his folly.
