1 A man, having separated himself, seeks his own desire, and rages against all sound wisdom.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but that his heart may express itself.
3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with dishonor comes reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom like a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked, or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for blows.
