Proverbs 18:2-4

New Living Translation

²Fools have no interest in understanding;
they only want to air their own opinions.

³Doing wrong leads to disgrace,
and scandalous behavior brings contempt.

⁴Wise words are like deep waters;
wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.

Proverbs 18:2-4

New International Version

²Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions.^(A)

³When wickedness comes, so does contempt,
and with shame comes reproach.

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