5It is not good to accept the person of the ungodly, Nor is it holy to pervert justice in judgment.
6The lips of a fool bring him into troubles, And his bold mouth calls for death.
7A fool’s mouth is ruin to him, And his lips are a snare to his soul.
8Fear casts down the slothful; And the souls of the effeminate shall hunger.
9A man who helps not himself by his labor Is brother of him that ruins himself.
