Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
Evil will not depart from the house of anyone who rewards good with evil. The warning is that repaying good with evil fixes evil in the home and life, so that it remains there. It applies to those who repay efforts made to save them with evil in return. Even kind and tender reproof may leave such persons unconvinced and persisting in sin.
