⁶ A fool’s lips ^[a]enter into contention,
And his mouth calleth for stripes.
⁷ A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.
⁸ The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels,
And they go down into the innermost parts.

¹³ He that giveth answer before he heareth,
It is folly and shame unto him.
