7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor: the wicked hath not understanding to know it.
8 Scornful men set a city in a flame: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect: and as for the upright, they seek his life.
11 A fool uttereth all his anger: but a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.
12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together: the Lord lighteneth the eyes of them both.
