Proverbs 29:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ The ^(A)righteous knows the cause of the poor,
The wicked does not understand that knowledge.
⁸ Scoffers ^[a](B)set a city aflame,
But ^(C)wise men turn away anger.
⁹ When a wise man is brought into judgment with a man who is an ignorant fool,
^[b]The ignorant fool both rages and laughs, and there is no rest.
