Proverbs 18:4 Context
2A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe. 3When the wicked commeth, then commeth also contempt, and with ignominie, reproch. 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.
