Proverbs 18:3

Shame

1 He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment.

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

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.

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