Proverbs 18:3-5

3 When wickedness comes, it is accompanied by contempt,
    and with dishonor comes disgrace.
4 The words of the mouth are turbulent waters,
    but the fountain of wisdom is a flowing brook.
5 It is not right to show partiality[a] to the guilty
    or to deprive the innocent of a just judgment.
