^(B)And the Lord will reward you.

⁸ Scoffers ^(A)set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away wrath.

⁹ If a wise man contends with a foolish man,
^(B)Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.

¹¹ A fool vents all his ^(A)feelings,^[a]
But a wise man holds them back.

^22 (A)An angry man stirs up strife,
And a furious man abounds in transgression.

³² If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have devised evil, ^(A)put your hand on your mouth.
³³ For as the churning of milk produces butter,
And wringing the nose produces blood,
So the forcing of wrath produces strife.
