The Message
Proverbs 29:6-8
The Message
6 Evil people fall into their own traps;
good people run the other way, glad to escape.
7 The good-hearted understand what it’s like to be poor;
the hardhearted haven’t the faintest idea.
8 A gang of cynics can upset a whole city;
a group of sages can calm everyone down.
Proverbs 29:6-8
New International Version

but the wise turn away anger.(C)
