Proverbs 18:5


Proverbs 18:4 Proverbs 18:5 (KJV) Proverbs 18:6
The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook.
[It is] not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
