2 Fools have no interest in understanding;they only want to air their own opinions.
3 Doing wrong leads to disgrace,and scandalous behavior brings contempt.
4 Wise words are like deep waters;wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.
5 It is not right to acquit the guiltyor deny justice to the innocent.
6 Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels;they are asking for a beating.
7 The mouths of fools are their ruin;they trap themselves with their lips.
8 Rumors are dainty morselsthat sink deep into one’s heart.
