1 He who separates himself seeks his own desire;he seeks and quarrels against all wisdom.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding,but in expressing his own heart.
3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt,and with dishonor 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 favor the wicked,or to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool’s lips enter into contention,and his mouth calls for flogging.
