Proverbs 29:9

אִ֣ישׁ חָ֭כָם נִשְׁפָּ֣ט אֶת אִ֣ישׁ אֱוִ֑יל וְרָגַ֥ז וְ֝שָׂחַ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין נָֽחַת׃
King James Version (KJV)

If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
