2. Fools find no pleasure in understanding,but only in expressing their opinion.
3. When the wicked arrive, so does contempt;with shame comes insult.
4. The words of a person’s mouth are deep waters,a bubbling stream, a fountain of wisdom.
5. Favoring the wicked isn’t good;it denies justice to the righteous.
6. The lips of fools make accusations;their mouths elicit beatings.
7. The mouth of fools is their ruin;their lips are a trap for their lives.
8. The words of gossips are like choice snacks;they go down to the inmost parts.
9. Those who are lazy in their workare brothers to thugs.
