Proverbs 29:7-9

New Life Version

⁷ The man who is right with God cares about the rights of poor people, but the sinful man does not understand such things.

⁸ Men who speak against others set a city on fire, but wise men turn away anger.

⁹ When a wise man argues with a foolish man, the fool only gets angry or laughs, and there is no peace and quiet.
