Proverbs 18:1-6 World English Bible (WEB)

1. An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.

2. A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.

3. When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.

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

5. To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

6. A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.
