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.
