Proverbs 29:9-11
Revised Standard Version
9 If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate one who is blameless,
and the wicked[a] seek his life.
11 A fool gives full vent to his anger,
but a wise man quietly holds it back.
