Proverbs 18:4-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. The words of one’s mouth are deep waters,the spring of wisdom, a running brook.

5. It is not good to favor the guilty,nor to reject the claim of the just.

6. The lips of fools walk into a fight,and their mouths are asking for a beating.

7. The mouths of fools are their ruin;their lips are a deadly snare.
