Proverbs

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. ⁹He also that is slack in his work is brother to him that is a destroyer. ¹⁰The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
