Proverbs

²A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself. ³When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy cometh reproach. ⁴The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; the wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook. ⁵To accept the person of the wicked is not good, nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment. ⁶A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for stripes. ⁷A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. ⁸The words of a whisperer are as dainty, morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
