Proverbs 18:4-6

Young's Literal Translation

⁴Deep waters [are] the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom [is] a flowing brook.

⁵Acceptance of the face of the wicked [is] not good, To turn aside the righteous in judgment.

⁶The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.

Proverbs 18:4-6

New International Version

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)
