New King James Version

Proverbs 18:3-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. When the wicked comes, contempt comes also;And with dishonor comes reproach.

4. The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

5. It is not good to show partiality to the wicked,Or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

6. A fool’s lips enter into contention,And his mouth calls for blows.

7. A fool’s mouth is his destruction,And his lips are the snare of his soul.
