Proverbs 29:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Suppose a wise person goes to court with a foolish person.
    Then the foolish person gets mad and pokes fun, and there is no peace.

¹⁰ Murderers hate honest people.
    They try to kill those who do what is right.

¹¹ Foolish people let their anger run wild.
    But wise people keep themselves under control.
