1 Whoever 1isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only 2in expressing his opinion.
3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also, and with dishonor comes disgrace.
4 The words of a man's mouth are 3deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
5 It is not good to 4be partial toa the wicked or to 5deprive the righteous of justice.
6 A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites 6a beating.
7 7A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 8The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into 9the inner parts of the body.
9 Whoever is slack in his work is a 10brother to him who destroys.
10 11The name of the LORD is 12a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and 13is safe.
11 14A rich man's wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.
12 15Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but 16humility comes before honor.
13 If one gives an answer 17before he hears, it is his folly and shame.
14 A man's spirit will endure sickness, but 18a crushed spirit who can bear?
15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 A man's 19gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.
17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.
