Proverbs 29:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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.[a]
11 Fools give vent to all their anger;
but the wise, biding their time, control it.(A)
