Proverbs29:8
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare : but wise men turn away wrath .
Expose it to God's wrath and to destruction by their selfconceit and wilfulness, by their wicked counsels and courses whereby they seduce and infect the generality of the People, by their contempt of God, of his just Laws and righteous Judgments, and of the opinions and advices of wise men.
Who do not scorn, but hearken to the counsels of God and of prudent men.
The wrath of God or of men who were enraged against it.
Marginal references: Or, set a City on fire.
