1. He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.
2. A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
3. When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
4. The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
5. To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6. A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
7. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
