Proverbs 18:2-8 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

2. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may reveal itself.

3. When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

4. The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the well-spring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

6. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

7. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

8. The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
