Proverbs 18:1-3 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Whoever has a will to withdraw from a friend, seeks occasions; he shall be reproached at all times.

2. The foolish do not accept words of prudence, unless you say what is already turning in his heart.

3. The impious, when he has arrived within the depths of sin, thinks little of it. But ill repute and disgrace follow him.
