Proverbs 29:9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹If the wise go to law with fools,
there is ranting and ridicule without relief.

Proverbs 29:9

Common English Bible

⁹When the wise make a legal charge against the foolish,
the fools shout, they laugh—there is no calm.

⁹If a wise person goes to court with a fool,
the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.

¹¹A fool gives full vent to anger,
but the wise quietly holds it back.^(A)

¹¹Fools show all their anger,
but the wise hold it back.

¹¹Fools give full vent to their rage,^(A)
but the wise bring calm in the end.^(B)
