If a wise man contendeth, &c.— A wise man, contending in judgment with a foolish man, whether he is provoked or derided, remains unmoved.—Ver. 10. Deceitful men hold the upright in little esteem; but the just embrace him. Houbigant. Schultens renders the last verse, Bloody men hate the upright, and seek the life of the just.
