Proverbs 18:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ It is not right to be partial to the guilty
    or to subvert the innocent in judgment.^(A)
6 A fool’s lips bring strife,
    and a fool’s mouth invites a flogging.
⁷ The mouths of fools are their ruin,
    and their lips a snare to themselves.^(B)
