In context

1 He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.

2 A foolish man has no pleasure in good sense, but only to let what is in his heart come to light.

3 When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame.

4 The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters: the fountain of wisdom is like a flowing stream.

5 To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.

6 A foolish man's lips are a cause of fighting, and his mouth makes him open to blows.
