A MAN'S MOUTH ARE AS DEEP WATERS

The words of a man’s mouth are as 

deep waters, and the wellspring of 

wisdom as a flowing brook.  It is not good 

to accept the person of the wicked, 

to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

A fool’s lips enter into contention, 

and his mouth calleth for strokes.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction, 

and his lips are the snare of his soul.

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, 

and they go down into the innermost 

parts of the belly.  He also that is slothful 

in his work is brother to him that is a 

great waster.

The name of the LORD is a 

strong tower: the righteous runneth into 

it, and is safe.  The rich man’s wealth is his 

strong city, and as an high wall in his 

own conceit.  Before destruction the 

heart of man is haughty, and before 

honour is humility. He that answereth a 

matter before he heareth it, it is folly 

and shame unto him.  The spirit of a man 

will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded 

spirit who can bear?  The heart of the prudent
getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise 

seeketh knowledge.

PSALM 18;4-15
