Proverbs 18:4

2 A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions.

3 With a wicked man comes contempt as well, and shame is accompanied by disgrace.

The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.

5 Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.

6 A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
