7 The righteous care about justice for the poor.The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.
8 Mockers stir up a city,but wise men turn away anger.
9 If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.
10 The bloodthirsty hate a man of integrity;and they seek the life of the upright.
11 A fool vents all of his anger,but a wise man brings himself under control.
12 If a ruler listens to lies,all of his officials are wicked.
13 The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.
