Proverbs 18:6 Context
4The words of a mans mouth, are as deepe waters, and the well-spring of wisedome as a flowing brooke. 5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to ouerthrowe the righteous in iudgement. 6A fooles lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 7A fooles mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soule. 8The words of a tale bearer are as wounds, and they goe downe into the innermost parts of the belly.
