Proverbs 29:9-11
American Standard Version
9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man,
[a]Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect;
[b]And as for the upright, they seek his life.
11 A fool uttereth all his [c]anger;
But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.
