- Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
- A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
- When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
- The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
- It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
|
- He who separates himself seeks his own desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
- A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.
- When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes, And with dishonor comes scorn.
- The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
- To show partiality to the wicked is not good, Nor to thrust aside the righteous in judgment.
|
- A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.
- A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
- The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
- He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
|
- A fool's lips bring strife, And his mouth calls for blows.
- A fool's mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
- The words of a whisperer are like dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts of the body.
- He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys.
