Proverbs 29:8-10
Wycliffe Bible
8 Men full of pestilence destroy a city; but wise men turn away strong vengeance.
9 If a wise man striveth with a fool, whether he be wroth, or laugh, he shall not find rest.
10 Men-quellers hate a simple man; but just men seek his soul. (Murderers hate honest people; but the righteous seek them out.)

8 Mockers stir up a city,
but the wise turn away anger.(A)

and seek to kill the upright.(B)
