Proverbs 18:1-6

1 He that hath a mind to depart from a friend, seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.

2 A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.

3 The wicked man, when he is come into the depths of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.

4 Words from the mouth of a man are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom is an overflowing stream.

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.

6 The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
