4 The words of one’s mouth are deep waters,the spring of wisdom, a running brook.
5 It is not good to favor the guilty,nor to reject the claim of the just.
6 The lips of fools walk into a fight,and their mouths are asking for a beating.
7 The mouths of fools are their ruin;their lips are a deadly snare.
8 The words of a talebearer are like dainty morsels:they sink into one’s inmost being.
9 Those slack in their workare kin to the destroyer.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower;the just run to it and are safe.
