Proverbs 29:7-9
International Children’s Bible
7 Good people are concerned that the poor are treated fairly.
But the wicked don’t care.
8 People who make fun of others cause trouble in a city.
But wise people calm anger down.
9 A wise man should not take a foolish person to court.
The fool will only shout or laugh at him. There will be no peace.
