Proverbs 18:4-6
American Standard Version
4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters;
[a]The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
5 To respect the person of the wicked is not good,
[b]Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool’s lips [c]enter into contention,
And his mouth calleth for stripes.
