Proverbs 18:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ ¶ When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt, and with him who dishonours, reproach.

⁴ ¶ The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

⁵ ¶ To respect the person of the wicked so that the righteous loses that which is rightfully his is not good.
