Verse 9 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. The righteous consider the cause of the poor, while the wicked do not understand such knowledge. Scoffers can ignite conflicts in a city, but the wise can calm anger. Violence between righteous and wicked people produces tensions that cannot simply be resolved through force. The section especially insists that a ruler demonstrates the quality of his government through the justice he provides to those in need.
