Proverbs 18:1-9

Proverbs 18:1-9 CSB

One who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound wisdom. A fool does not delight in understanding, but only wants to show off his opinions.  , When a wicked person comes, contempt also comes, and along with dishonor, derision. The words of a person’s mouth are deep waters,  a flowing river, a fountain of wisdom.  It is not good to show partiality to the guilty,  denying an innocent person justice.  A fool’s lips lead to strife, and his mouth provokes a beating.  A fool’s mouth is his devastation, and his lips are a trap for his life.  A gossip’s words are like choice food that goes down to one’s innermost being.  , The one who is lazy in his work is brother to a vandal.  ,
