Proverbs 18:1-4 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Unfriendly people look out for themselves;they bicker with sensible people.

2. Fools find no pleasure in understanding,but only in expressing their opinion.

3. When the wicked arrive, so does contempt;with shame comes insult.

4. The words of a person’s mouth are deep waters,a bubbling stream, a fountain of wisdom.
