Proverbs 29:7-9
New Catholic Bible

7 A righteous man has concern for the condition of the poor,
    but an evildoer shows no interest in this matter.
8 Scoffers can set a city aflame,[a]
    but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man argues with a fool,
    he will get nowhere whether he rages or laughs.
