Proverbs 18:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ The words of a [discreet and wise] man’s mouth are like deep waters [plenteous and difficult to fathom], and the fountain of skillful and godly Wisdom is like a gushing stream [sparkling, fresh, pure, and life-giving].

⁵ To respect the person of the wicked and be partial to him, so as to deprive the [consistently] righteous of justice, is not good.

⁶ A [self-confident] fool’s lips bring contention, and his mouth invites a beating.
