Proverbs 29:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible
7 Righteous people want poor people to receive justice.
But wicked people do not understand things like that.
8 People who insult their friends bring trouble to a city.
But wise people stop arguments.
9 If a wise person accuses a foolish person in court,
there will be no agreement.
The fool will only laugh or he will become angry.
Proverbs 29:7-9
New International Version
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor,(A)
but the wicked have no such concern.
8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.(B)
9 If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
