Proverbs 18:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 18:4

Compare all

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.

7 ^aA fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his ^bsoul.

8 ^aThe words of a¹ talebearer are like tasty trifles,
And they go down into the¹ inmost body.

9 He who is slothful in his work
Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.
