Proverbs 29:8-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. Scoffers enflame the city,but the wise calm the fury.

9. If a wise person disputes with a fool,there is railing and ridicule but no resolution.

10. The bloodthirsty hate the blameless,but the upright seek his life.

11. Fools give vent to all their anger;but the wise, biding their time, control it.
