4 Deep waters, are the words of a man’s mouth,—a bubbling brook, the well-spring of wisdom.
5 To prefer a lawless man, is not good, thrusting away the righteous, in judgment.
6 the lips of a dullard, enter into contention, and his mouth, for blows, crieth out.
7 The mouth of a dullard, is his ruin, and, his lips, are a snare to his soul.
8 the words of a tattler, are dainties, they, therefore go down into the chambers of the inner man.
9 Surely he that is slothful in his work, brother, is he to a master at laying waste.
