Proverbs 18:4-6

New King James Version

⁴^(A)The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;
^(B)The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

⁵It is not good to show partiality to the wicked,
Or to overthrow the righteous in ^(C)judgment.

⁶A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows.

Proverbs 18:4-6

⁴The words of the mouth are deep waters,^(A)
but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.

⁵It is not good to be partial to the wicked^(B)
and so deprive the innocent of justice.^(C)

⁶The lips of fools bring them strife,
and their mouths invite a beating.^(D)
