Proverbs 18:5

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

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

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.

7 A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
