1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
2 A fool hath no delight in understanding,but that his heart may discover itself.
3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt,and with ignominy reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked,to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
