Proverbs 29:8-10

⁸ ·People who make fun of wisdom [Mockers] ·cause trouble in [^Linflame] a city,
but wise people ·calm anger down [^Lturn back anger].

⁹ When a wise person ·takes a foolish person to court [or debates/disputes a fool],
the fool only shouts or laughs, and there is no ·peace [rest].

¹⁰ Murderers hate an ·honest [innocent; blameless] person
and ·try to kill [^Lseek the life of] ·those who do right [the virtuous].
