Proverbs 29:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless,^[a]
    but the upright show concern for him.
¹¹ A fool gives free rein to his anger,
    but a wise man bides his time and calms it.
¹² If a ruler listens to the testimony of liars,
    all of his officials will adopt evil ways.
