Proverbs 18:4-6
New Catholic Bible

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.
6 The lips of a fool cause strife,
    and his mouth provokes a flogging.
