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.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are like tasty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
