3 When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy `cometh' reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are `as' deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is `as' a flowing brook.
5 To respect the person of the wicked is not good, `Nor' to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
6 A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
