Proverbs 18:1-6

New King James Version

² A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his ^(A)own heart.

³ When the wicked comes, contempt comes also;
And with dishonor comes reproach.

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

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

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