Proverbs 29:9-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

12. If rulers listen to lying words,their servants all become wicked.

13. The poor and the oppressor meet:the Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

14. If a king is honestly for the rights of the poor,his throne stands firm forever.
