Proverbs 29:7-11

⁷The righteous considereth the cause of the indigent: but the wicked will not understand the knowledge of justice.

⁸Scornful men will kindle confusion in a town; but the wise turn away wrath.

⁹If a wise man contend with a foolish man, whether he be angry or whether he laugh, he will have no rest.

¹⁰Men of blood hate the guiltless one; but the upright seek to preserve his life.

¹¹A fool uttereth all his mind; but the wise holdeth it back.
