3With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And with shame — reproach.
4Deep waters are the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom is a flowing brook.
5Acceptance of the face of the wicked is not good, To turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for stripes calleth.
7The mouth of a fool is ruin to him, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart.
9He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he is to a destroyer.
