Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
1
He who
separates
himself
seeks
his own
desire
, He
1
quarrels
against
all
sound
wisdom
.
2
A
fool
does not
delight
in
understanding
, But
only
2
in
revealing
his own
mind
.
3
When a
wicked
man
comes
,
contempt
also
comes
, And with
dishonor
comes
scorn
.
4
The
words
of a
man's
mouth
are
3
deep
waters
; The
fountain
of
wisdom
is a
bubbling
brook
.
5
To
4
show
partiality
*
to the
wicked
is not
good
, Nor to
5
thrust
aside
the
righteous
in
judgment
.
6
A
fool's
lips
bring
strife
, And his
mouth
calls
for
6
blows
.
7
A
7
fool's
mouth
is his
ruin
, And his
lips
are the
snare
of his
soul
.
8
The
words
of a
whisperer
are like
dainty
morsels
, And they
go
down
into the
innermost
parts
of the
body
.
9
He
also
who is
8
slack
in his
work
9
Is
brother
to him who
destroys
.
10
The
10
name
of the
LORD
is a
11
strong
tower
; The
righteous
runs
into it and
12
is
safe
.
