Proverbs 29:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Arrogant people ^(A)inflame a city,
But ^(B)wise people turn away anger.
⁹ When a wise person has a controversy with a foolish person,
^[a]The foolish person either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.
¹⁰ People of ^(C)bloodshed hate the blameless person,
But the upright ^[b]are concerned for his life.
