PROVERBS CHAPTER 18.
V. 5. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to favor him in any way, especially in a court case, to overthrow the righteous in judgment, so that he loses his case on account of the partiality of the judge.
V. 6. A fool’s lips enter into contention, bring on a quarrel, and his mouth calleth for strokes, he challenges and provokes the punishment which strikes him.
V. 7. A fool’s mouth, on account of his quarrelsome disposition, is his destruction, it brings ruin upon him, and his lips are the snare of his soul, his rash language causes trouble for himself.
