Proverbs 18:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ It is not good to take the person of a wicked man in doom, that thou bow away from the truth of doom. (It is not good to favour a wicked person, so that thou turn away from the truth in judgement.)

⁶ The lips of a fool meddle themselves with chidings; and his mouth stirreth strives. (A fool’s lips mix, or mingle, themselves in with arguments; and his mouth stirreth up strife.)

⁷ The mouth of a fool is [the] defouling of him; and his lips be the falling of his soul.
