Proverbs 29:9

New King James Version

If a wise man contends with a foolish man, Whether the fool rages or laughs, there is no peace.

See the chapter Copy

The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.

Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, Rather than a fool in his folly.

Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath.

The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being.
