1 He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
5 To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
