New Testament

Proverbs 18:1-6 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. Some people like to do things their own way, and they get upset when people give them advice.

2. Fools don’t want to learn from others. They only want to tell their own ideas.

3. Do something evil, and people will hate you. Do something shameful, and they will have no respect for you.

4. Words from wise people are like water bubbling up from a deep well—the well of wisdom.

5. You must be fair in judging others. It is wrong to favor the guilty and rob the innocent of justice.

6. Fools say things to start arguments. They are just asking for a beating.
