Wise Communication and Just Governance
Proverbs 29:8-14
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.
14
The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever.
