As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

Rashi on Proverbs
A righteous man slipping before a wicked man When a righteous man slips before a wicked man and is afraid to reprove him for his way to his face, the matter is hateful like a muddied spring and a ruined fountain.
