2 A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his
aown heart.
3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also;
And with dishonor
comes reproach.
4 aThe words of a man’s mouth
are deep waters;
bThe wellspring of wisdom
is a flowing brook.
5 It is not good to show partiality to the wicked,
Or to overthrow the righteous in
ajudgment.
6 A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows.
