Proverbs 18:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ ¶ The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

⁵ ¶ To respect the person of the wicked so that the righteous loses that which is rightfully his is not good.

⁶ ¶ A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for strokes.
