Proverbs 29:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,
    then there is rankling and ridicule,^[a] but there is no relief.
¹⁰ Men of blood hate the blameless,
    and they seek the life of the upright.^[b]
11 A fool gives all his breath,^[c]
    but the wise holds back in quiet.
