Proverbs 18:3-8

3When wickedness comes, so does contempt, and with shame comes reproach.

4The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.

5It is not good to be partial to the wicked and so deprive the innocent of justice.

6The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.

7The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives.

8The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
