Proverbs 29:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ The righteous considers the cause of the poor,
    but the wicked regards not to know it.

⁸ Scornful men bring a city into a snare,
    but wise men turn away wrath.

⁹ If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
    whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
