Proverbs 29:8

All About Life

⁷ The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know it . ⁸ Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath. ⁹ If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
