Proverbs 18:1-5 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. The separatist seeks his own desire; He breaks out against all sound wisdom.

2. A fool does not delight in understanding, But in uncovering his own heart.

3. When a wrong one comes, scorn comes too. And with shame comes reproach.

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

5. It is not good to show partiality to the wrong, Or to turn aside the righteous in right-ruling.
