7A just man knoweth the cause of poor men; and an unpious man knoweth not knowing. (The righteous know of the concerns of the poor; but the wicked do not care to know.)
8Men full of pestilence destroy a city; but wise men turn away strong vengeance.
9If a wise man striveth with a fool, whether he be wroth, or laugh, he shall not find rest.
10Men-quellers hate a simple man; but just men seek his soul. (Murderers hate honest people; but the righteous seek them out.)
