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.
9 One who is slack in his workis brother to one who destroys.
10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;the righteous run to it and are safe.
