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

Lexham English Bible

⁹If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man,
then there is rankling and ridicule,^[a] but there is no relief.

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

¹¹A fool gives all his breath,^[a]
but the wise holds back in quiet.
