Proverbs 29:8-10

Amplified Bible

⁸ 
Scoffers set a city afire [by stirring up trouble],
But wise men turn away anger [and restore order with their good judgment].
⁹ 
If a wise man has a controversy with a foolish and arrogant man,
The foolish man [ignores logic and fairness and] only rages or laughs, and there is no peace (rest, agreement).
¹⁰ 
The bloodthirsty hate the blameless [because of his integrity],
But the upright are concerned for his life.^(A)
