Proverbs 29:7-9
GOD’S WORD Translation
7 A righteous person knows the just cause of the poor.
A wicked person does not understand this.
8 Mockers create an uproar in a city,
but wise people turn away anger.
9 When a wise person goes to court with a stubborn fool,
he may rant and rave,
but there is no peace and quiet.
