Proverbs
Chapters 29:7-13
New International Version Anglicized
7The righteous care about justice for the poor,but the wicked have no such concern.
8Mockers stir up a city,but the wise turn away anger.
9If a wise person goes to court with a fool,the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.
10The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrityand seek to kill the upright.
11Fools give full vent to their rage,but the wise bring calm in the end.
12If a ruler listens to lies,all his officials become wicked.
13The poor and the oppressor have this in common:the Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.
