Proverbs 29:7-9
The Voice
7 The just get involved with the poor and know their issues,
but the wicked cannot comprehend such concerns.
8 Mockers stir up a city and inflame passions,
but the wise know how to put out the fire and ease tensions.
9 When the wise go to court against a fool,
there will be ranting and raving but no resolution.
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.
