3When a wicked person comes, contempt comes with him— along with shame and reproach.
4The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a flowing stream.
5It is not good to be partial to the wicked person, nor to deny justice to the righteous person.
6A fool's lips bring him conflict and his mouth invites a beating.
7A fool's mouth is his ruin and he ensnares himself with his lips.
8The words of a gossip are like delicious morsels and they go down into the inner parts of the body.
9Also, one who is slack in his work is a brother to the one who destroys the most.
