Proverbs 29:7-9
New Century Version
7 Good people care about justice for the poor,
but the wicked are not concerned.
8 People who make fun of wisdom cause trouble in a city,
but wise people calm anger down.
9 When a wise person takes a foolish person to court,
the fool only shouts or laughs, and there is no peace.
