“The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters.The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.”
Proverbs 18:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2A fool has no delight in understanding,but only in revealing his own opinion. 3When wickedness comes, contempt also comes,and with shame comes disgrace. 4The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters.The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook. 5To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good,nor to deprive the innocent of justice. 6A fool’s lips come into strife,and his mouth invites beatings.
