Proverbs 18:1-7 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. An unfriendly person cares only about himself.He makes fun of all wisdom.

2. A foolish person does not want to understand anything.He only enjoys telling others what he thinks.

3. Do something evil, and people won’t like you.Do something shameful, and they will make fun of you.

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.

7. A fool’s words will ruin him.He will be trapped by his own words.
