Proverbs 29:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Be wise and don't sue a fool.
    You won't get satisfaction,
because all the fool will do
    is sneer and shout.
¹⁰ A murderer hates everyone
who is honest
    and lives right.^[a]
11 Don't be a fool
and quickly lose your temper—
    be sensible and patient.
