Proverbs 29:8-10
Authorized (King James) Version
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare:
but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man,
whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright:
but the just seek his soul.
Proverbs 29:8-10
New International Version
8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.(A)
9 If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
10 The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity
and seek to kill the upright.(B)
