Proverbs 29:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ A righteous man has concern for the condition of the poor,
    but an evildoer shows no interest in this matter.
⁸ Scoffers can set a city aflame,^[a]
    but wise men turn away wrath.
⁹ If a wise man argues with a fool,
    he will get nowhere whether he rages or laughs.
