2 Fools find no pleasure in understandingbut delight in airing their own opinions.
3 When wickedness comes, so does contempt,and with shame comes reproach.
4 The words of the mouth are deep waters,but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.
5 It is not good to be partial to the wickedand so deprive the innocent of justice.
6 The lips of fools bring them strife,and their mouths invite a beating.
7 The mouths of fools are their undoing,and their lips are a snare to their very lives.
8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;they go down to the inmost parts.
