Proverbs 18:4-10 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. The words of one’s mouth are deep waters, a fountain of wisdom, a flowing brook.

5. Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.

6. The lips of a fool enter into an argument and his mouth invites a beating.

7. A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

8. The words of a gossip are tasty morsels, going down into one’s innermost being.

9. One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.

10. The Name of Adonai is a strong tower. The righteous one runs into it and is set safely up high.
