American Standard Version
"To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Norto turn aside the righteous in judgment. "
— Proverbs 18:5, American Standard Version
“It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.”
A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
The words of a man’s mouth areasdeep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Norto turn aside the righteous in judgment.
A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for stripes.
A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
