Proverbs 29:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ A righteous person acknowledges the rights of the poor,
but a wicked person does not understand such knowledge.
⁸ Scoffers stir up a city,
but wise people turn away anger.
⁹ When a wise person seeks justice from a stubborn fool,
the fool rants and laughs, and there is no peace.
