Proverbs 17:13

“Whoso rewardeth evil for good, etc.] As the enemies of David and Christ rewarded them, (<193512>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.”

“(Compare Psa 7:4; Psa 35:12). evil--injury to another (Pro 13:21).”

“Sa1 24:17, Sa1 31:2, Sa1 31:3; Sa2 21:1-14; Psa 35:12, Psa 38:20, Psa 55:12-15, Psa 109:4-13; Jer 18:20, Jer 18:21; Mat 27:5, Mat 27:25; Rom 12:17; Th1 5:15; Pe1 3:9 Proverbs 17:14”

“13 He that returneth evil for good, From his house evil shall not depart. If ingratitude appertains to the sinful manifestations of ignoble selfishness, how much more sinful still is black ingratitude, which recompenses evil for good! (משׁיב, as Sa1 25:21, syn. גּמל, to requite, Pro 3:30; Pro 31:12; שׁלּם, to reimburse, Pro 20:22). Instead of תמישׁ, the Kerı̂ reads תמוּשׁ; but that this verb, with a middle vowel, may be 'י'ע as well as 'ו'ע, Psa 55:2 shows. Proverbs 17:14”
