The righteous man cares for the rights of the poor, But the wicked man has no interest in such knowledge. [Job 29:16; 31:13; Ps 41:1] Scoffers set a city afire [by stirring up trouble], But wise men turn away anger [and restore order with their good judgment]. 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). The bloodthirsty hate the blameless [because of his integrity], But the upright are concerned for his life. [Gen 4:5, 8; 1 John 3:12] A [shortsighted] fool always loses his temper and displays his anger, But a wise man [uses self-control and] holds it back.
