Proverbs 29:9

English Standard Version

⁹If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is ^(A)no quiet.

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.

¹¹A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back.

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