Proverbs 18:3-9

³A wicked man, when he cometh into depth of sins, despiseth whole-some lore, and commandment; but scandal and shame pursueth or followeth him.

⁴Deep water is the words of the mouth of a man; and a strand floating over is the well of wisdom.

⁵It is not good to take the person of a wicked man in doom, that thou bow away from the truth of doom.

⁶The lips of a fool meddle or mingle themselves with chidings; and his mouth stirreth strives.

⁷The mouth of a fool is the defouling of him; and his lips be the falling of his soul.

⁸The words of a double-tongued man be as simple; and they come unto the inner things of the womb. Dread casteth down a slow man; forsooth the souls of men turned into women’s condition shall have hunger.

⁹He that is nesh, and dissolute, either unsteadfast, in his work, is the brother of a man destroying his works.
