Key Verse | Proverbs 29:11
Fools vent their anger,
but the wise quietly hold it back.
Proverbs 29:4-11
4A just king gives stability to his nation,
but one who demands bribes destroys it.
5To flatter friends
is to lay a trap for their feet.
6Evil people are trapped by sin,
but the righteous escape, shouting for joy.
7The godly care about the rights of the poor;
the wicked don’t care at all.
8Mockers can get a whole town agitated,
but the wise will calm anger.
9If a wise person takes a fool to court,
there will be ranting and ridicule but no satisfaction.
10The bloodthirsty hate blameless people,
but the upright seek to help them.*
11Fools vent their anger,
but the wise quietly hold it back.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
