New Testament

Proverbs 29:6-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7. The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know it.

8. Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath.

9. If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

10. The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life.

11. A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

12. If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

13. The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both.
