8. Scornful men 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.
