Proverbs 18:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ Understanding people’s words is as hard as getting water out of a deep well.
    But understanding wisdom is as easy as getting water from a flowing stream.

⁵ It is not good to honor the wicked.
    Nor is it good to be unfair to the innocent.

⁶ A fool’s words start quarrels.
    They make people want to give him a beating.
